Jefferson County - Fishing activity in Jefferson County has slowed down with a reminder that March 1st is the closing date for game fishing on the lakes in the county. Also a reminder that ice shanties are required to be removed by March 5. Conservation wardens advise that although ice conditions on many area lakes in some areas is still good, to be aware of weak areas of ice due to expansion cracks and places where ice shanties previously were standing and melting occurred around them. The areas where ice shanties were standing and are now removed can go undetected because of the recent snowfall, but those areas have reports of less than 5 inches of ice from the melting that occurred during the last few weeks. The rivers in Jefferson County should be avoided, due to most of them being open water now.
