Wisconsin wildlife officials say they can help your kids beat cabin fever. The cure: ice fishing lessons.
The Department of Natural Resources plans to hold its 19th annual children's ice fishing clinics on park ponds and lagoons around Milwaukee and Waukesha counties on Saturday, Feb. 6. Agency officials say the clinics are a great way to introduce youths to the sport.
The clinics are free. Kids learn about ice safety and fishing techniques. Equipment and snacks will be provided.
Each clinic starts on the hour and lasts about 45 minutes. Classroom instruction will take place regardless of the weather and ice conditions.
Clinic locations are available at http://www.dnr.wi.gov/news/BreakingNews_Lookup.asp?id=1558
