Anglers Reminded To Take Every Precaution This Season

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is reminding anglers to review the safety guidelines before hitting the lakes.

Conservation Officer Ben Huener Roseau says “colder temperatures have led to ice forming and shelters being placed on the ice”. 

Meanwhile, Conservation Officer Coby Fontes in Warroad reports that “a lot of near-shore areas of Lake of the Woods are locked up” and urges “extreme caution”.

Further south, Conservation Officer Jeremy Woinarowicz in Thief River Falls says “ice conditions vary greatly”. He is also advising “extreme caution” be used if you’re heading out to take advantage of the first ice.
