RURAL CERRO GORDO COUNTY – An Ice Fishing Event sponsored by the Cerro Gordo County Conservation Board and Lime Creek Nature Center will be held on Saturday, January 11, from 9 – 11:30 a.m. at Bluebill Wildlife Area.
A fun morning of fishing for all is the main goal of this program. There will be a fire going for roasting marshmallows and hot dogs. Following the fishing a weigh-in will be held to recognize the biggest and most fish caught, and a door prize drawing will be held for both children and adults.
Mentors will be present to assist novices with ice fishing techniques. A limited supply of equipment will be available for use, or participants can purchase an ice fishing pole and jig for $10.00.
Participants should bring ice fishing equipment, a bucket to put fish in, and dress for the weather. Children must be accompanied by an adult and anyone 16 years of age or older must have a fishing license. Registration is required – please call 423-5309 to register or for more information.
Bluebill Wildlife Area is located seven miles west of Mason City on Blacktop B-35, and two miles south on South 40th Street (14369 Indigo Ave.).
Sounds like a good thing. Maybe the kids will turn off whatever device they are playing with and get some good fresh air.
This is a great way to introduce young and old alike to the outdoors. It’s also a way for people to find out there is more to life than sitting inside playing video games.
Good point John, good point.
Good fun for everyone need more of this.
