Learn to Ice Fish

UPDATE: Due to the weather, this event is rescheduled for Sunday, January 26. 

Learn to Ice Fish with Madison Parks and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources! There is no cost to attend (advanced registration is required), however, anglers ages 16 and older will need a Wisconsin fishing license, which can be purchased online at Go Wild. For first-time license buyers, the cost is just $5 for an annual permit. See license options. Wisconsin DNR's Fishmobile will be on site with all the fishing equipment needed to participate. This event is open to adults and children and is ideal for persons aged 7 years and older. Children must be supervised by a parent or adult guardian. Participants will be asked to sign a waiver for themselves and their children, upon arrival.

If there is no ice, you will cast into open water and see how the fish are biting.

What to Bring
No fishing equipment is required. All fishing supplies are provided.
