Lincoln’s Discover Ice-Fishing clinic cancelled

The Discover Ice-Fishing clinic scheduled for Jan. 20 at Lincoln’s Holmes Lake has been cancelled because of extreme cold. The high in Lincoln that day will be 7 degrees, according to the forecast.

This event may be rescheduled in February. Check the calendar at OutdoorNebraska.gov for details.

Of the four Discover Ice-Fishing events planned this month by the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission and Nebraska Fish and Game Association, three have been cancelled due to extreme conditions.

The final scheduled ice-fishing clinic is Jan. 27 from 1-4 p.m. at Omaha’s Flanagan Lake, 168th and Fort streets. This on-ice clinic is where anglers can learn the basics of ice-fishing or pick up a few new tips from experienced anglers.

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.
