As a member of the Merrymeeting Lake Association, I've been contacted several times over the years by other associations inquiring about the status of ice fishing on our lake. In every case, they were contacting us because they were considering a ban due to bad behavior and littering.

As always, the inconsiderate behaviors of a few lead to restrictions on all.

I hope that those responsible for this mess are found and prosecuted/fined to the limits of laws. Better to penalize the few problem makers than hurt the majority who are considerate.
