Want to spread the news on these ice fishing clinics scheduled for January. Of course when these are planned we never know what ice conditions are going to be like, so, plan to attend and then keep your ears open for updates!
Learn ice fishing at three events in January
Anglers can learn the basics of ice fishing or pick up a few new tips from experienced anglers at Discover Ice Fishing clinics in January.
The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission’s Youth Fishing Program will host two on-ice events and one classroom event.
From 9 a.m.-noon Jan. 10, Game and Parks and the Nebraska Fish and Game Association will host a classroom clinic at Norfolk Lodge and Suites, 4200 Norfolk Ave. This will feature presentations by some of Nebraska’s top ice fishermen. Registration is requested by emailing [email protected] with names of attendees.
From 2-4 p.m. Jan. 10, anglers can head to Norfolk’s Skyview Lake (west entrance) to Discover Ice Fishing with volunteer instructors helping you learn while on the ice.
The other on-ice event will be from 2-4 p.m. Jan. 24 at Omaha’s Flanagan Lake (near boat ramp).
To get a reminder for the on-ice events or notification in case of cancellation, visit the calendar event entries at Calendar.OutdoorNebraska.gov.
Limited loaner equipment will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Bait and instruction will be provided. Participants are encouraged to bring their own equipment.
All fishing regulations and permit requirements apply.
A lack of safe ice will force the cancellation of the on-ice events.
