Bundle up and bring the kids out for a fun introduction to ice fishing! The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR), Wisconsin Council of Sport Fishing Organizations (WCSFO), Milwaukee County Parks and local fishing clubs invite families to attend free youth ice fishing clinics at select parks on Saturday, January 30th.
These beginner-friendly clinics provide hands-on instruction from local fishing club members. Participants will learn ice fishing basics, including fish identification, knot tying, fishing techniques, equipment use and ice safety.
Fishing equipment will be available to use, but participants are encouraged to bring their own if possible. Children must be accompanied by an adult, and families are encouraged to dress appropriately for winter weather. Participants 16 years of age and older are required to have a fishing license in order to fish.
