Q3: Why is there a need to register ice huts in some of the new FMZs?
A: Ice hut registration is now required in zones 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17,
18, 19 and 20. Many individual lakes or districts currently require ice hut
registration. Registration at a zone-wide scale and the setting of
standardized ice hut removal dates were introduced to make it easier to
determine where ice hut registration and removal dates apply and to assist
with enforcement. Ice hut registration assists Conservation Officers to
ensure all ice huts are removed prior to ice break up by enabling them to
identify the owner of the ice hut.
* In this Zone, only a few waterbodies are open for winter fishing
– see Additional Fishing Opportunities for Zone 17.
• You do not need to register your ice hut in Zones 1-8 and 13.
• You do not need to register an ice hut if it is a tent made of cloth
or synthetic fabric that has a base area of two square metres
(21.5 square feet) or less when erected.
• Ice hut registration numbers must be at least 6.3 cm (2.5 in.) in
height and clearly displayed on the outside of the hut.
• Whether or not an ice hut removal date applies to your Zone, it is
an offence under the Public Lands Act to leave your ice hut out after
ice break up.
