Fish hut colonies are on the decline decreasing number of fish in Lake Simcoe and the increa sed popularity of snowmobiles have combined to cause de crease in the number of fish huts to about half the all time high of around 5000 in the early 19605 ministry 01 natural resour ces count made every Febru ary showed only 2236 huts on the lake this year The count was started in 1913 when there were only 800 huts on the lake The number increased gradual ly to the high of about 5000 in the 19605 then began declin ing The decline seems to be due to the decrease in the number of fish says Harold Van Wyck of the ministrys Huronia Dis trict Tre fish population has gone down because of the in creased popularity of snowmo biles allowing fishermen to get onto the like easier in recent weeks warm weath er has caused some treacher ous conditions on the lake says Al Stewart of the ministry but the ice can vary widely over the lake The reports weve been get ting indicate about 1215 inches of ice on most of the lake he said but it can vary One of the big proglems is slush which can get as deep as six inches in the afternoon In the morn ings it is usually not too bad There are some obvious dan ger areas such as the mouth of the Holland River and weve been advising people to call on local ice but operators to get an idea of ice conditions be fort going too far onto the lake It is just bad time of year and that ice will move around lot and create lot of cracks WEATHER FORECAST Cloudy with sunny periods and mild today Clearing Friday windy and not so mild Low light high Friday See EXAMINER
