They don't have time to patrol popular ice fishing areas often enough, let alone out-of-the-way spots. That gives the slobs the perfect opportunity to do as they please. There is a lake nearby that is within full view of 1-1/2 miles of a heavily traveled U.S. highway. Yet every Winter there are ice fishing shacks, particularly plastic sheeted, and other human debris that are left thru ice out. Laws, fines and recommendations mean nothing to these offenders.
