MADISON – All ice fishing shelters must be removed from Wisconsin-Minnesota boundary waters by March 1 and from Wisconsin-Michigan boundary waters by March 15.
For inland Wisconsin waters, ice fishing shelters must be removed by the first Sunday following March 1 for waters south of Highway 64 and by the first Sunday following March 12 for waters north of Highway 64. For 2014, those dates are: Sunday, March 2 for waters south of Highway 64; and Sunday, March 16 for waters north of Highway 64.
After these dates for removing ice fishing shelters from a frozen lake or river, an angler may continue to use a portable shelter but must remove it daily and when it is not occupied or actively being used.
