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.
