Rec 101: Intro to Ice Fishing

The DNR will host this 2012 Winter Free Fishing Weekend event in order to engage more individuals in fishing in the local community. 

This exciting, family-friendly event will include not only ice fishing demonstrations and instruction but fly fishing as well.  Instructors will be on hand to explain all the gear involved, how to drill a hole in the ice, where to find the best fish, and even how to clean them once you’ve landed them.  It will take place whether there is ice or not - we may just have to use our imagination for part of it if there isn't any ice.  Two $25 gift cards to Wilson Marine will be given out to a couple lucky attendees.

This event is FREE, however a Recreation Passport is required for park entry.  You may purchase a Recreation Passport when renewing your license plate tabs at any Secretary of State office, or at any state park headquarters.
