Title: Any regulation for vehicle operation near ice fishers/shelters in Manitoba?
Post by: Drift Dodger on Feb 21, 2018, 01:27 PM

Hey, does anyone know whether there are any current provincial (or federal) laws, regulations or guidelines regarding operation of motorized vehicles (car, truck, snowmobile, ATV, UTV, etc.) within any particular distance of shelters and/or persons engaged in ice fishing? I have seen a few regulations regarding minimum distance / speed for a few American states, and recall seeing something like a minimum distance of 100 ft or so for snowmobiles here many years ago but can't find anything online pertaining to Manitoba now.

A small percentage of the snowmobile fraternity are really ignorant. One will find this with most outdoor pursuits. Driving 100 miles/hr along rivers, streams and areas on lakes where there is a lot of ice fishing activity is a dangerous activity....and some complain about humps left by fishers and such when they have the whole lake to play on.
