Ice Fishing Houses In Minnesota

By Timothy Stone


A good number of people usually go trawling during the summer when the weather is sunny. Other people prefer trawling during the winter when the weather is freezing. The anglers trawl by cutting holes in the ice and dropping their lines to catch the fish. Ice fishing houses in Minnesota are always available in winter and provide excellent services.

Winter angling is very popular in this state, and many anglers from different parts of the country and even foreigners go to this state to drop their lines. Just like the normal kind of angling, this fishing also has some rules and regulations that are set by the trawling department of Minnesota. Therefore, all the people who own these ice fishing houses have to observe the rules at all times.

This winter angling season is considered to be like the normal open water trawling, but it usually starts at different times depending on how thick the glacier is in different locations of the state. Hence, the trawling department has created boundaries that dictate when the houses have to be taken away from the frozen waters to prevent them from sinking when the glaciers start melting.

For instance, the Northern boundaries allow fishers to trawl until mid-March without fear while the fishermen in the southern boundary must move their shelters when March sets in. This gives the anglers in the North to have an extra advantage of trawling for additional two weeks. Hence, most anglers tend to select the northern part to trawl.

Rules that the frozen water fishermen have to follow are a bit different to open water trawling. For example, in glaciers, the anglers are required to put two lines into the glacier. Additionally, they must stay within two hundred feet with their trawling lines at all times. More so, the anglers must never leave the lines unattended during the day or night.

In a dark shelter, only one line is permitted and any fish caught in a dark shelter must be immediately released back to the water or placed on the glacier. Therefore, these rules have to be observed by any local or foreign angler during angling in glaciers.

Winter angling is not complete without a shelter thus this is the main key of this kind of trawling. If the lake is large, many angling shelters can gather and form a village. This village must, however, follow all the rules as well as regulations of the state to make sure the shelters are safe for the anglers and there is the availability of fish all the time.

It is mandatory for all the angling shelters to have an address as well as a license number that is visible for easier identification. If you own an overnight shelter, it is a rule that it has a two inches strip made of the reflective material on the exterior part. To add on that these accommodations must not be less than ten feet apart.
