I little clarification on the rules. You only need a fish house license if it is left unattended overnight. Here is a quote from the MN DNR site. This is new this year

“For the 2007-2008 winter season, residents and nonresidents will need the appropriate fish house license only if the fish house is left unattended on the ice overnight,”

DiverDan - I believe he's referring to a shelter ID ie your DNR#, name and address, and/or driver's license. Different horse than a fish house license.

A clarification to the clarification.

You do not need a shelter license if you have a portable or never leave the shelter, in other words if you drag a shelter out fish out of it and drag it back you don't need a shelter license. But I think the initial post was to make sure people know that you still need to have identification on your portable and all other shelters. Here is the information directly from the fishing regulations.

Quote:

All shelters, which include dark houses, fish houses, and portable shelters, placed on the ice of Minnesota waters must have either the (1)complete name and address, (2)driver’s license number, or (3)the nine-digit Minnesota DNR number on the license of the owner plainly and legibly displayed on the outside in letters, and figures at least 2 inches in height.

One has to wonder where they, the STATE is going to make up Revnue lost by this?

Seems we is going to pay some other way.

May a tax on fishing on clear days VS cloudy days...maybe a moon phase tax...Something got to give.

I agree they will make it up somewhere.........and I just found one area. I went to get my 2008 ATV tabs the other day, so I can go use my shelter that I do not have to buy a tag for now, and was shocked to find out the tab went up from $36 to $51!!!!!! A 42% increase????? They will get the shelter tag money from us anyway..............So Bring extra money with you if your tabs are due this 12/31/07.

I am sure the fishing licenses are going to be increase next.

I was out sat. with my boys, and got checked twice. Both times they made sure of the ID. In the past they said they would not pay as much attention to this, but now the change in the LICENSE law, you will get a ticket for no IDENTIFICATION

I wonder also about why they wanted to get rid of licenses for portables. They (dnr) complain about money, and then they cut the license, doesn't make much sense. If there really enough people griping about licensing a portable, they can always go back to sitting on a bucket in the open.

I really doubt that it was the decision of the DNR to eliminate the fishhouse licenses.

Putting a license on a portable was a pain. Last year I bought 3 licences. One for my permanent and 2 for portables. I have friends come from the cities and I seem to be the outfitter, and of course by the end of a trip a license was missing.

I do know last year a lot of people were buying one license then going to get replacements for their other houses.

It is a good thing, but be assured that they will recoup the funds elsewhere...

      Big Traverse Ice Free

      By LakeofthewoodsMN · Posted

      On the south end...   The big basin, otherwise known as Big Traverse Bay, is ice free.  Zippel Bay and Four Mile Bay are ice free as well.  Everything is shaping up nicely for the MN Fishing Opener on May 11th. With the walleye / sauger season currently closed, most anglers are targeting sturgeon and pike.  Some sturgeon anglers are fishing at the mouth of the Rainy River, but most sturgeon are targeted in Four Mile Bay or the Rainy River.  Hence, pike are the targeted species on the south shore and various bays currently.   Pike fishing this time of year is a unique opportunity, as LOW is border water with Canada, the pike season is open year round. The limit is 3 pike per day with one being able to be more than 40 inches. All fish 30 - 40 inches must be released. Back bays hold pike as they go through the various stages of the spawn.  Deadbait under a bobber, spinners, spoons and shallow diving crankbaits are all viable options.   Four Mile Bay, Bostic Bay and Zippel Bay are all small water and boats of various sizes work well. On the Rainy River...  Great news this week as we learned sturgeon will not be placed on the endangered species list by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.     The organization had to make a decision by June 30 and listing sturgeon could have ended sturgeon fishing.  Thankfully, after looking at the many success stories across the nation, including LOW and the Rainy River, sturgeon fishing and successful sturgeon management continues.   A good week sturgeon fishing on the Rainy River.  Speaking to some sturgeon aficionados, fishing will actually get even better as water temps rise.     Four Mile Bay at the mouth of the Rainy River near the Wheeler's Point Boat Ramp is still producing good numbers of fish, as are various holes along the 42 miles of navigable Rainy River from the mouth to Birchdale.   The sturgeon season continues through May 15th and resumes again July 1st.   Oct 1 - April 23, Catch and Release April 24 - May 7, Harvest Season May 8 - May 15, Catch and Release May 16 - June 30, Sturgeon Fishing Closed July 1 - Sep 30, Harvest Season If you fish during the sturgeon harvest season and you want to keep a sturgeon, you must purchase a sturgeon tag for $5 prior to fishing.    One sturgeon per calendar year (45 - 50" inclusive, or over 75"). Most sturgeon anglers are either a glob of crawlers or a combo of crawlers and frozen emerald shiners on a sturgeon rig, which is an 18" leader with a 4/0 circle hook combined with a no roll sinker.  Local bait shops have all of the gear and bait. Up at the NW Angle...  A few spots with rotten ice, but as a rule, most of the Angle is showing off open water.  In these parts, most are looking ahead to the MN Fishing Opener.  Based on late ice fishing success, it should be a good one.

      Nice fish. I moved to the Sartell area last summer and just thought it was windy like this everyday up here? 🤭

      Crazy windy again today.... This is has been the norm this spring. Between the wind and the cold fronts, fishing has been more challenging for me than most years.  Panfish have been moving in and out of the shallows quite a bit. One day they are up in the slop, the next they are out relating to cabbage or the newly sprouting lilly pads.  Today eye guy and I found them in 4-5 ft of water, hanging close to any tree branches that happened to be laying in the water.  Bigger fish were liking a 1/32 head and a Bobby Garland baby shad.   Highlight of the day way this healthy 15incher
