“Every year, ice fishing shelters are abandoned on Saskatchewan lakes with predictable results,” the Ministry of Environment explained in a statement.
“The structures can break up and wash up on shore along with litter that’s often left behind, creating environmental hazards and an ugly mess.”
Underwater debris can be a hazard to boaters and others on the water during the summer months, the ministry said.
Those who don’t remove their shelters could face hefty fines, and see their shelters and the contents confiscated, the ministry cautioned.
“Owners must remove all structures and litter from the ice and transport them away,” the ministry said. “Shelters may not be left on the shore.”
The ministry asked anglers to take care when travelling on ice, and watch for slush, thermal cracks and pressure ridges, which are all signs that ice is unsafe.
Ice fishing season closes on March 31 in southern and central Saskatchewan and on April 15 in the north, the ministry noted.
