ICE FISHING '08 END NEARS

It's nearly the end of the ice-fishing season. Department of Natural Resources Conservation Officer Nikki Shoutz said the end of February is a day to remember. That's the day when your house should be off the ice. Shoutz said new regulations from the Department of Public Safety require that fish houses be hauled with trailers and that the trailers be registered. Shoutz said the season began with rather 'iffy' ice but there's nothing 'iffy' about ice on most lakes now, up to 15 and 20 inches in many areas.
