Working Draft for:
Preeceville's Main Street with the Mayor Garth Harris for Thursday March 9th, 2017 8:35 am
With GX94's Craig Wallebeck > see him @ http://www.gx94radio.com/craig-Wallebeck
This week we focus on: Time to remove your Ice Fishing Shelters
Released on March 8, 2017
"With the ice fishing season winding down, all fishing shelters south of Highway 16 must be removed by March 15 and shelters in areas north of Highway 16 must be removed by March 31.
Ice fishing shelters are abandoned on the ice each year. Shelters not removed pose a danger to boaters, water-skiers and others enjoying our lakes. Pieces wash up on shore and can also cause environmental hazards.
If shelters are not removed, owners may be prosecuted, and the structure and contents may be removed and confiscated.
Litter must also be removed when ice shelters are taken off the ice and structures must be moved to a location above the high water mark. Ice fishing shelters must have the owner’s complete name, address and phone number on the outside in legible letters that are at least 2.5 cm high.
Ice fishing season closes on March 31 in southern and central Saskatchewan and on April 15 in the north. Information about fishing in the province can be found in the Saskatchewan Anglers’ Guide and online at www.saskatchwan.ca/fishing.Anyone travelling on the ice should take extreme caution. Slush indicates that ice is eroding from above and below at an advanced rate and changing temperatures can cause thermal cracks and pressure ridges, which are indicators of unsafe conditions.
To report a fisheries, wildlife, environmental or forestry violation, contact your nearest Ministry of Environment Office or call the province's Turn In Poachers (TIP) line at 1-800-667-7561 or #5555 from any SaskTel cell phone, or report a violation online at www.saskatchewan.ca/tip. You may be eligible for cash rewards from the SaskTip Reward Program. Callers can remain anonymous"
