 It's the unofficial end of winter this weekend with the deadline for anglers to remove fish houses from lakes in northern Minnesota. The fish house removal deadline for most of the Lakeland PBS viewing area is Monday, March 19th. Fish house owners are asked to be cognizant of taking trash off the lake, whether it's theirs or was left by someone else. If shelters are not removed by the deadline, owners will be prosecuted and structures may be confiscated and removed or destroyed by a conservation officer. After the deadline, shelters may be on the ice between midnight and one hour before sunrise only when occupied. They may not be left or stored at public accesses. Anglers are reminded that ice conditions may vary and that ice is never considered 100% safe.
