In past winters we have always been updated on the amount of ice on Lake Pepin, but I didn't see that annual story this winter. Just wondering if the barges have been able to travel through that area ...

KEWAUNEE COUNTY (WLUK) -- With the weather beginning to look a lot like spring, there's a reminder from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources for those venturing out on the ice.

Deadlines are approaching in Minnesota and Wisconsin for anglers to get ice fishing shelters off the ice. For Minnesota lakes and rivers south of Highways 2 and 200, the deadline is March 6.

After this weekend, sturgeon spearing will close, marking a disappointing season for many, but a memorable season for all.
