Crooked Lake, Oxford WI
Did you know that you can have a great tan in the winter with out going away on vacation? The sun reflecting off the frozen lakes of Wisconsin is a great way to ward off seasonal affect disorder and actually get a tan. People ask me all the time if I have been on vacation and I tell them that I have been Ice Fishing. This sport have been becoming more popular among men and women and we can help you get started. If you ever wanted to give Ice Fishing a try this is your chance.
Join us as we teach you how to ice fish. In this class, you will learn about ice safety, how to start and run a power auger, learn to set up a portable shack, set tips ups, use a jig rod, fish with live and artificial bait, how to use electronics, view life under the ice with the underwater camera and more. The instructors for this class are women and all the equipment is provided. A Chili lunch and Hot Chocolate will be provided.
Once you know the basics you will feel comfortable joining us on our annual adventures to MN and to Lake Superior. Many women look for other group members to go out fishing with in between club events so this class will give you the confidence you need to go out with friend.
You will receive information on how to dress and heated shacks are provided to keep you warm. This years class will be held on Crooked Lake which is about 50 minutes N. of Madison. We are arranging car pooling from Madison so if transportation is a concern just contact me. The cost of the class is $75 and that includes the $25 membership in WI Women Fish for 2011. Once you are a member you will be entered into the drawing for the new Jiffy Ice Auger to be given away in March. Our instructors teach a shorter version of this class for the BOW program through UWSP the weekend of February 11th.
