Hey don’t pee on the ice at Red lake! A guy I know went home with a hundred and some dollar fine! He said he talked to a group at the bar that went home with more than $3,000 in fines! Don’t pee on Red. The deal is that Hundred and sixty or so fine each spot! DON’T PEE ON RED! IMO (Dumb)
Kudos for law enforcement. I have never understood why grown men think it is acceptable to urinate in public. Go find a restroom or use a container in the privacy of your fishing shelter. If you don’t have a shelter, walk back to your truck or find a tree. Urinating in public = dumb (imho)
I need to see proof of these $3000 in fines before I could even begin to believe it. Sounds like bar folklore.

One of life’s first lessons was how to pee off the side of the boat.
Strongly disagree middle of a lake ice fishing on a lake the size of Red Lake is far from public IMO. Ridiculous if this is true.

I think this is an April Fools joke.
I can’t imagine anyone getting a ticket doing their thing on the ice or in a boat. Of all the years I have been boat fishing I never once went to shore or had somebody tell me they needed to find a tree or a shelter. Law enforcement has much bigger fish to fry than handing out tickets for painting the snow yellow on Red Lake.

Didn’t know size mattered. Urinating in public has nothing to do with the size of the lake and everything to do with the PUBLIC. Urinating in public refers to urinating in front of others. If your dumb enough to urinate in front of a law officer or anyone else who may take offense and file a complaint, I guess you are going to get a summons. You are always free to argue your case to the judge.
If the fellas in question were not doing this “in public” (in front of others) I don’t know what law applied and what the citations might have been written for, If has been said, any citations were even written.
I don’t see anything written in all of this that said anyone was taking a leak in front of anyone or out in the public’s eye. If somebody was ticketed outside of a bar in a parking lot for taking a whiz I can see the ticket….but out on the ice? That is as age old as ice fishing is.
There are about 315,000 gallons in a acre of water one ft. deep. Red is 120,000 acres, let’ say it averages 7 ft deep. So 120,000 x 315,000 x 7 = 264 billion gallons. Assume an average whiz is 12 ounces or .09 gallons. 264 billion/.09 = one part in 2.9 trillion.
From personal first-hand experience.
I was given a ticket on Malac’s for urinating in public and indecent exposure just for taking a whiz. Unfortunately I didn’t know the CO was glassing me from a distance.
Total fines came to $1300.
Yes $1300. It was $100 per inch
$100/inch….1300.00…..you’re talking stream from winkie to ground right? Must not have had your heels on that day.
$100/inch….1300.00…..you’re talking stream from winkie to ground right?
No, he’s talking around….. 
The fines are real I will try and see if I can take pics of the ticket from the guy in town. He is a guy who doesn’t lie about stuff like that and IDK how you would come up with that. And once again its per spot. I think if they want to do that they better have out houses every 500 yards or so. I just want to hear a explanation on why they don’t want you to pee on the ice. Everyone and everything does it deer dogs you name it if its on the ice and it needs to go it will go.
A few years back they would glass a popular spot on pool 8……
Would give out tickets even though they were the only one witnessing it.
Flippin comies.

LOL I agree. No way….never happen.
It’s part of ice fishing in the middle of a huge body of water with no facilities avaliable… What a joke.

It is a joke….obviously….and IF it was “real”–the media would be all over it. I know the DNR guys in the Red area–I’ll call them and kid them about this thread. Clerk of Court/Administrator will have it all–Beltrami County…LOL???
I once caught a girl outside a bar dropping a deuce by the dumpsters. I cited her. Wanted so badly to cite her for illegal dumping LOL but sadly that deals with garbage. Her excuse was that she needed somewhere quiet.

I thought this was going to be one of those “how I met my wife” stories….

Yep have had plenty of friends get for peeing in public. That’s a real ticket . Not sure if that many were handed out on Red but yes it’s a ticket if caught peeing in public.

Give me a break….you go ahead and run to a bathroom (at your age you’ll probably wet your pants), I’ll discreetly pee on the ice.

You mean there were COs on pool 8? Where are they in the spring and fall when people are triple bagging at Dresbach every day?
Hey don’t pee on the ice at Red lake! A guy I know went home with a hundred and some dollar fine! He said he talked to a group at the bar that went home with more than $3,000 in fines! Don’t pee on Red. The deal is that Hundred and sixty or so fine each spot! DON’T PEE ON RED! IMO (Dumb)
Verified to be FALSE, of course, per the Supervisor of Enforcement for that region– C.O. Pat Z.
This thread had been brought to his attention and he chose to chuckle vs. respond.

FINALLY ….THANKS A LOT!
I have been holding it ever since this thread has started and I am about to burst!
LOL
Well I am sorry for this I was told that even the resorts were telling everyone that the DNR was doing this. I am truly sorry I will have to have a talk with the guy who told me. I didn’t mean to start this I thought I was doing a good thing about warning people about this. Once again I am sorry. I was going off what I heard and I should have got evidence first.
No problem Allan. As a LEO these kinds of posts probably bug me more than they should. It just ends up getting people mad at the DNR or law enforcement in general. Now if it actually happened and there was proof then post away.
