(Orleans)– It may not seem like it with the cold weather, but the deadline for getting unattended ice houses off lakes is approaching.
The Iowa Department of Natural Resources says they must be removed from all state-owned lands and waters, including parking lots and boat ramps, by February 20th.
They’re urging ice fishing shelter owners not to wait until the last minute to get their shelter off the ice. They say if a shelter falls through the ice, the owner is responsible for getting it out of the lake.
