Do you let your water gear dry for 5 full days between lakes? ⏳ If you’re short on time, head to the Minnesota DNR decontamination page to find free hot-water decon locations. Or even toss items in the dryer for a super quick dry time. #PreventAIS #Decontamination

It's a MN Tradition. Stay Warm! Ice fishing season brings families and friends together on Minnesota's frozen lakes. Let's keep those waters just as pristine for the next generation by packing out what you pack in.

Not everyone jumps on board right away. It took him a bit to come around to AIS prevention – and that’s okay. What matters is we’re all pulling in the same direction now: keeping Minnesota waters clean for the next trip out. #StopAIS #CleanDrainDry #MinnesotaTraditions

Winter AIS Mythbusters time. "Aquatic invasive species die in the winter because it’s so cold." ❌ False. Some AIS can survive all season under the ice. That’s why clean, drain, dry still matters at the access, even when the lake is frozen. #WinterFishing #AISFacts
