Ice fishing may end soon on Lake Champlain

The ice fishing season may be cut short on Lake Champlain this season. State law requires ice shanties be removed from Lake Champlain before the ice becomes too thin or by the last Sunday in March, whichever comes first. But the balmy weather could weaken the ice before the end of the month. Temperatures nearing 50 degrees on Monday turned Lake Champlain’s ice into slush.
