Anglers are reminded to register their new or previously unregistered ice-fishing huts on area lakes. Registration is free and helps discourage anglers from abandoning their huts, which can end up in waterways and washed up on shorelines when the ice thaws. Tent-style ice huts made of cloth or synthetic fabric that have a base area of seven square metres (75.4 square feet) or less when erected do not need to be registered.
For ice hut registration in other districts, refer to the Recreational Fishing Regulations Summary at ontario.ca/fishing.
