Hawarden, Iowa — Have you always wanted to try ice fishing, but didn’t have the equipment or guidance? Well there’s an opportunity coming up for you on Saturday.
Sunday Ford from the Sioux County Conservation Board tells us that a public ice fishing clinic, hosted by the Sioux County Conservation Board will take place this Saturday, February 23rd from 10:00 a.m. until noon at Big Sioux Rec Area near Hawarden, weather permitting.
Ford encourages people to bring their family, sack lunches, and buckets for their seats. She says the day includes ice fishing instructions and equipment to use. According to Ford, the holes in the ice will be pre-drilled, and bait is provided. You won’t even need a day park pass during the program. The only other thing you will need is if you are 16 or older, you’ll need a valid fishing license to actively fish.
Ford says they need you to pre-register, and that can be accomplished online at www.mycountyparks.com/county/sioux.aspx.
