Game and Fish Reminds Anglers to Clean up Ice

| 2/25/2013

The North Dakota Game and Fish Department is asking anglers to clean up after ice fishing. This applies to both trash and fish. Accoring to the Game and Fish Department, it is illegal to leave fish behind on the ice. When a fish is caught, it should either be kept or released back into the water unharmed.

“It is common practice for some anglers to fillet fish on the ice,” said Robert Timian, law enforcement chief. “Clean up after yourself. Don’t leave the entrails and sides of filleted fish on the ice. Put the carcass in a trash bag and properly dispose of it when you get home.”
