Deadline Nears to Remove Fish Houses From North Dakota Lakes

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Anglers are running out of time to remove permanent fish houses from North Dakota waters, and from any state wildlife management area or federal refuge land.

The state Game and Fish Department says the deadline is midnight Sunday. Fish houses may be used on state waters after that if they're removed daily.

Anglers are advised to use caution when accessing lakes because mild weather can quickly result in unstable ice conditions.

Game and Fish says Sunday also is significant because it's the end of North Dakota's darkhouse spearfishing season.
