Dave, does MN have a date that all shanties like yours must be off the ice like WI does?

Here's the info from the WI DNR web site posted back in February:

MADISON � The first of a number of deadlines for ice anglers to remove ice fishing shelters from inland and boundary waters is this weekend. All ice fishing shelters must be removed from Wisconsin-Iowa boundary waters by Feb. 20. This earlier date, affecting the Mississippi River south of the Minnesota-Iowa border, is set to correspond with Iowa regulations.

The deadlines for the other two boundary waters are March 1 for Wisconsin-Minnesota boundary waters and March 15 for Wisconsin-Michigan boundary waters.

The regulations for removing ice shanties from inland Wisconsin waters changed in 2008.

The law now requires ice fishing shelters must be removed daily and when not occupied after the first Sunday following March 1 for waters south of Highway 64 and after the first Sunday following March 12 for waters north of Highway 64. For 2010, those dates are:

�Sunday, March 7 for waters south of Highway 64.
�Sunday, March 14 for waters north of Highway 64.

For the record Hyw 64 is about 30 miles North of Tzone.
