Ice fishing slobs leave garbage on frozen Minnesota lakes
Just like smokers who evidently believe that we all want to pick their butts off the bottoms of our shoes or see them floating in a rain-filled bucket outside the mall, some folks who ice fish are of the opinion that we all want to find their Ding Dong wrappers and dead beer cans when we head to the lakes this summer.

More from the Strib:
Throughout the ice-fishing season, officers find food packaging, beer cans and propane tanks stacked against fish houses and scattered around lakes across the state, said Capt. Ken Soring, the DNR's northeast region enforcement manager.But by far the messiest time of the season comes around the state's deadline for fishermen to pull their houses off the ice, Soring said. In the southern two thirds of Minnesota, that is March 1, and officers expect to find loose insulation, wood blocks and even entire fish houses abandoned on the ice.
