Free Ice Fishing Festival - Elmore State Park

1/9/2020

1 Comment

 
ELMORE, Vt. – Vermont’s seventh annual Free Ice Fishing Day is Saturday, Jan. 25, 2020. To celebrate, the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department is holding an Ice Fishing Festival at Elmore State Park on Lake Elmore. The festival will be held from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The event is free and open to all ages as well as families with kids.

Vermont Fish and Wildlife staff, as well as instructors from Vermont’s Let’s Go Fishing Program, will be on-hand to teach ice fishing skills. These include knot tying, baiting, and using an ice fishing rod, and most importantly, how to stay warm on the ice. They will also discuss fishing regulations and go over fish identification.

Fish and Wildlife staff will operate a fish fry station to cook up participants’ catch, and there will be plenty of cocoa on hand. Participants are encouraged to dress appropriately for the weather, and ice cleats are strongly recommended.

“Ice fishing is one of the most accessible forms of fishing and can be a great way to introduce people to how much fun fishing can be,” said Jud Kratzer, fisheries biologist for the Fish and Wildlife Department. “This festival will demonstrate that ice fishing isn’t just about catching fish. It’s also a great way to spend some time outdoors with friends and family. You can skate, sled, make a snow fort, and have a cookout – all while waiting for the flags on your tip-ups to signal when you’ve caught a fish.”

Fishing equipment will be loaned for this fun day on the ice or participants may bring their own. For more information, contact Corey Hart at 802-265-2279 or corey.hart@vermont.gov. Registration can be completed online in advance at www.vtfishandwildlife.com/free-ice-fishing-day-festival or people may register when they arrive, although registering in advance will enable participants to get on the ice faster!
​

Free Ice Fishing Day is held annually on the last Saturday in January. The day is geared toward giving new ice anglers an opportunity to try ice fishing before purchasing equipment, but any angler may ice fish on any water body open to ice fishing statewide without a fishing license on Free Ice Fishing Day.

Great festival. In fishing competition the main thing which is important is the equipment's. If you have a proper equipment's you can win any war or competition.
