The New Hampshire Fish and Game Department have released a warning to ice fishers about an upcoming deadline.
According to the release, state law dictates that all bobhouses must be removed from the ice before the end of the day on April 1st. However, this is dependent on ice conditions, and it may be necessary to remove them from the ice prior to this date.
Once owners move their bobhouses to the shoreline, they are required to be moved to their own property. Leaving bobhouses on public or private property without permission is a violation of state law. The release states that failure to comply with the removal of your bobhouse by April 1st can result in a fine and one-year loss of the owner’s fishing license. The NH Fish and Game Department reserves the right to seize any bobhouse not removed by the April 1st deadline.
