Ice Fishing Access Policy in Effect

Ice Fishermen: Have fun this winter and be safe; “ALWAYS, KNOW BEFORE YOU GO”. Check in with someone who is near the particular body of water where you are accessing. Bait shops, outfitters, game wardens, and public land managers are all valuable sources for ice condition updates. The policy indicating the designated areas on Lake Sakakawea is available here.
