State law requires permanent fish houses to be removed from North Dakota waters by midnight March 15.
Nancy Boldt, water safety coordinator for the state Game and Fish Department, said anglers should exercise caution because variable weather conditions this time of year can make it difficult to even get to a fish house.
“Access on some lakes could be restricted due to snow,” Boldt said. “Also, warm weather and high winds this late in winter can rapidly deteriorate ice conditions.”
Fish houses may be used after March 15 if they are removed daily.
