NORTHWOODS - Some people will need to get their ice fishing shanties off the lakes this weekend. DNR wardens say the ice conditions are much better than last year, which will make it easier to get the shanties off the ice. Wardens say they'll be strict about the deadline this year.
"We've had these cold temperatures, extremely cold temperatures at night, and that's helped to freeze up some of the slush that was on top of the ice," says Conservation Warden Supervisor David Walz. "We saw some extreme conditions last year where people were struggling to get their shacks off even come April."
People who fish on inland waters south of Highway 64 need to have their shelters off by this Sunday. People north of Highway 64 need to move their shacks off the ice by March 15.
