Ice Fishing Trip!

Friday 2/10--Sun 2/12


Come enjoy an ice fishing trip in the mountains! 

In ice fishing you drill holes through the ice and fish in the holes using special short rods and reels which are designed for ice fishing. We will be fishing for Rainbow and Brown Trout. 

We will be staying in a heated cabin on the edge of the
lake. The cabin has bunk beds with mattresses, but you will need to supply your own sleeping bag or blankets. There is no plumbing in the cabin, the restrooms are in separate unheated building.
