The fishing area is north of the highway. You must be within line of sight of the Sibley bridge. You can have your houses on the ice before registration, but no lines in the water that morning.

Keep in mind when you setup that fish must be WALKED up to the weight station. We will NOT weigh your fish if you drive a vehicle, atv, or snowmobile up. Please carry fish in a bucket with water so they can be released if healthy.
