Learn about ice fishing at Bear Head Lake State Park
Want to learn more about ice fishing? Join the folks at Bear Head State Park! The program on Saturday, Feb. 13 will begin indoors at 10 a.m. at the Eagle's Nest Town Hall on Bear Head State Park Road. Then participants will travel into the park for fishing - you will need to drive yourself.

Ice fishing jiggle sticks to use and to take home are part of the plan. Fun indoor activities will focus on ice fishing safety, how fish survive the winter, fish ID and more!

"Then we'll hit the ice and fish," Jen Westlund, Park Manager, said. Prizes for 1st fish caught will be awarded. The program is designed for children and adults. Adults must accompany children.

Vehicle permits are required for all vehicles entering the park.

Bring a bag lunch and dress for the weather - warm winter gear. All equipment and hot cocoa will be provided! No fishing license is required. The program will take about four hours.

Preregistration by February 11 is required. Call Bear Head at 365-7229.
