Get ice fishing huts off lake, lake officials warn

This week's spring-like weather is causing concerns at one of the area's busier ice fishing spots, and officials at Lac Des Milles Lacs are now warning anglers to get their ice huts off the lake as soon as possible.
This week's spring-like weather is causing concerns at one of the area's busier ice fishing spots, and officials at Lac Des Milles Lacs are now warning anglers to get their ice huts off the lake as soon as possible.

It's a similar situation to what happened last year, when a sudden thaw made the big lake too dangerous to drive trucks out onto the ice. 

Lodge owner Gary McCourt said the recent rain and melting snow has left six to eight inches of water on the plowed trails around the lake, making driving without tire chains next to impossible. 

He is predicting the situation will become dangerous if the ice huts are not removed by this weekend. 

There are about 200 shacks still out on the ice at Lac Des Milles Lacs.
