(KNSI) - Organizers with the International Eelpout Festival say there will be no event this year.

In an announcement on their Facebook page, they say it's a wildly popular event, but, increased attendance has led to traffic tie ups, trash issues and safety concerns.

Organizers say they have tried for the last five months to work with Cass County officials to figure out a way to safely pull off the event, but say they have come to an "imapsse on lake enforcement".

A suggestion to move festival activities into downtown Walker, they say were also not going to allow for acceptable permit process for neither organizers nor the county, adding that the cost of porta-potties, ice road maintenance, lake clean up and trash removal is going up, and the "inability to enforce clean up and participation for all festival goers, attendees and vendors it is no longer feasible to operate the festival under the County requirements that change and increase every year."

This year, they say there will be no fishing contest or on ice commercial activity from the festival. Ice roads, porta potties, and trash removal during what would historically be the Festival weekend will not be supplied.

The Eelpout Festival has been held on Leech Lake for 40 years.
