Anglers face a midnight deadline (3/6) for removing permanent fish houses from lakes in the southern two-thirds of Minnesota.
DNR Conservation Officer Garrett Thomas says “If you brought something onto the ice, it’s your responsibility to bring it off.”
Shelters not removed by the deadline might be confiscated and removed from the ice, and their owners might receive citations.
The removal deadline in the north if March 20th.
Exceptions to the removal deadlines are Minnesota-Canada border waters (March 31). Minnesota-South Dakota and North Dakota border waters (March 5).

North Dakota anglers are reminded unoccupied fish houses must be removed from all waters beginning March 15.
Fish houses may be used after March 15 if they are removed daily – when not occupied.
