In the spring drivers had to remove the bob house by dragging the trailer along the bottom of the lake until it got to shore. Since then I've gone driving down many a time to pick up plastic spoons or trash from the bottom of the lake which has washed into our swim area. The owners of bob houses that sink should be held more accountable for cleaning up every bit of trash left behind.
Unfortunately, there is a significant portion of the ice fishing crowd that simply does not care about issues like this. I personally think it has a lot to do with the drinking that goes hand and hand with the sport.
