Learn ice-fishing at four 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 three on-ice events and one classroom event.

From 9 a.m.-noon Mountain Time Jan. 11, the Nebraska Fish and Game Association will host a classroom clinic at the Alliance Eagles Club, 1520 W. 3rd St. This will feature presentations by some of Nebraska’s top ice fishermen. Registration is suggested by emailing Harold@nefga.org.

From 2-4 p.m. Jan. 11, anglers can head to Laing Lake in Alliance to Discover Ice-Fishing with volunteer instructors helping you learn while on the ice.

The other on-ice events will be from 2-4 p.m. Jan. 19 at Lincoln’s Holmes Lake (located about mid-lake along the north shoreline drive), and 2-4 p.m. Jan. 25 at Norfolk’s Skyview Lake.

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.
