Your FAVORITE winter fishing event is back! Time do do your "ice
dance" and cross your fingers for some "hard water" for
the chance to try ice fishing! Learn to fillet a fish (if interested)
& catch dependent and then cook your catch on the ice!
Participants will start with a safety demonstration and be
fitted with ice picks that MUST be worn during the entire event. We
will cover how to "spud" a patch of ice to test for safety,
what to do if you were to fall in and how to climb out.
We will then go over the basics of ice fishing and equipment needed.
Each child will have their own complete gear set up to use during the
event (pole, sit upon bucket, tackle, and bait) - as well as a
complete gear set-up to take home (pole, reel, tackle, and ice
scoop).
If any fish are caught of legal size and limit,
and depending on interest from participants, we will teach how to
properly fillet a fish and then fire up our trusty camp stove and pan
fry them while out on the ice!
We will have two large ice
shanties that will be set up with heaters running as a warming
station. There will also be indoor, heated access to
"flushable" restrooms and an indoor warming station a short
walk away on shore. Participants are encouraged to bring snacks and
drinks.
