You know I have been grumbling about the mild weather and lack of ice. This just makes me grumble even more:
On-ice Discover Ice Fishing event at Norfolk cancelled
The on-ice portion of the Discover Ice Fishing event scheduled for Jan. 10 at Norfolk’s Skyview Lake has been cancelled because of a lack of ice.
Because of that cancellation, the classroom clinic hosted by Nebraska Game and Parks and the Nebraska Fish and Game Association will be extended beyond noon. That event begins at 9 a.m. Jan. 10 at Norfolk Lodge and Suites, 4200 Norfolk Ave. It will feature presentations by some of Nebraska’s top ice fishermen. Registration is requested by emailing [email protected] with names of attendees.
Game and Parks’ Youth Fishing Program is scheduled to host another on-ice event from 2-4 p.m. Jan. 24 at Omaha’s Flanagan Lake (near boat ramp). A lack of safe ice would force its cancellation.
To get a reminder for the on-ice event or notification in case of cancellation, visit the calendar event entries at Calendar.OutdoorNebraska.gov. Check Game and Parks’ Facebook page for any cancellation announcement.
NOTICE: We are still planning on having the classroom session in Norfolk and in fact plan to stick around even longer to talk about ice fishing. Believe me, talking about it is not nearly as good as getting on the ice and actually doing it, but we will definitely talk about it. If you were planning to attend the classroom clinic, still plan on it and DON’T MISS IT!
