On the news the other night as a little story about all the crap (literally) left on the Red River from the ice shack dwellers during the winter. Adults left garbage, human poop, whole ice shacks, and more on the ice to either be cleaned up by someone else or to just drop into the river. How disgusting! It's enough that we have to deal with polluted waters from agricultural run off or other unseen pollutants, but grown human beings are acting like idiots. I think they should be fined or lose privileges for a winter with no chances. People know not to leave campsites that way, how would this be different? I don't think people toss their garbage into the water while they fish in the summer, so why do it in the winter? It is aggravating to a lot of people, and the fact is the shacks are being used by grown people that should know better. I also wonder why ice fishing doesn't 
have people (such as conservation officers) to monitor that. In campgrounds you are asked to clean up your site if it's left messy. Damage deposits are taken at hotels for the unruly person, as well as at some (or all?) campgrounds. Ice fishing should be treated in the same way, and hopefully people will smarten up, as WE are greatly effected by their pollution and stupidity.
See the below link from CTV news for the video I am referring to.
