Bob House Requirements/Fines
There's been a lot of threads posted about bob houses, trash, etc. left behind or fallen through the ice but I've not seen much in the way of whether or not there are requirements for identification and accompanying fines, etc.
Would somebody summarize or point me in the right direction? Sent from my XT1528 using Tapatalk |

Thanks for your help!
Like I said, I've seen small tidbits here and there, but can't find a single summary. What I found on Google were stories about bob houses or old guides (2010 or so). Sent from my XT1528 using Tapatalk |

The only ID required by Fish and Game is the owner's name and address on the shack and 12 sq in of reflective tape/material per side and that it be off the ice by April 1st.
I don't think they have the resources to "police" a particular bob house and the presence or absence of debris left behind. It is common practice, however for (some) house owners to leave behind "anchors" used to secure houses to the ice...these are usually short lengths of 2x2 or 2x4 with a rope tied to it frozen in the ice. They are left behind because lots of guys "bounce" their houses to different spots during the season. By the same token, Not all house owners move their shacks. I tried to retrieve all of my anchors used this season (on Newfound). The amount of debris left behind is most commonly, tied to the amount of time the owner had to get his house off a lake. With quickly, degrading ice you sometimes have only hours to get it off and an owner might be unable to retrieve all of his debris without endangering himself. It's an ever challenging task if you are not "watching" conditions closely at crunch time. |

Thanks, Hillcountry. The 2x4s you reference that get frozen must be some of what I see/pick up in spring. There's gotta be a better way than having an almost guaranteed amount of wood--pressure treated?--falling into the lake?

Ultimately, it's up to an individual to take off what they bring on...we all know how that goes, unfortunately. |

I don't think you need to worry about the scraps used for anchors causing you problems with your boat. Like above these are small pieces of wood and by in large off the water with first good blow the lake stirs up. Guys have been anchoring Bob houses like this likely since before we were born. If the scraps were an issue it would have been addressed by regulation before now.
