Ice shelter deadlines
Anglers on inland waters in the northern two-thirds of Minnesota: The deadline to remove your shelters from the ice is 11:59 p.m. on March 17. Please plan ahead to ensure you meet the deadline. And there’s still plenty of time for waters on the Minnesota/Canada border, where the removal deadline is March 31. Remember to clean up after yourself, and that no ice is 100% safe.
