Ice fishing shelters must be removed:

• on or before March 9, 2025 on the Red River,
• on or before March 15 in Area B of the Southern Division (see map on page 16),
• on or before March 31 in the rest of the Southern Division and
• by April 15 in the Northwest, North Central and Northeast Divisions, or when requested to do so by a Conservation Officer due to unsafe ice conditions.

All ice fishing shelters left unattended must clearly display on the outside of the shelter in block letters at least 5 cm in height, the owner’s full name or Customer Identification Number, and phone number.

Shelters must be stored or disposed of away from the shore and on private property.
