Introduction to Ice Fishing

Fishing isn’t just a summer activity! Once our lakes freeze over, we can venture out and catch fish through the ice. 

Learn how to use the equipment, understand and find where the fish live in winter, and practice reeling in the different species that call Bush Lake home.  

All equipment provided. 
No fishing license required.
