Free Ice Fishing Day
Saturday, Jan. 25
Free Ice Fishing Day is a day when anyone, resident or nonresident, may fish legal Vermont waters without a fishing license. The Free Ice Fishing Festival is the same day. At the Ice Fishing Festival learn ice fishing basics, from tip-ups to filleting fish. Tom’s Bait and Tackle is donating all bait for the day. The festival will be held at Silver Lake State Park, 20 State Park Beach Road, Barnard, from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. Fish and Wildlife staff and volunteers will teach the basics of ice fishing. Be sure to dress warmly in layers and wear winter boots. Yaktraxs or ice cleats are also a great idea for traction. For more information, contact Corey Hart by email or call 802-505-5562.
