 Sheridan Lake. Meet at the parking lot on Hwy 385.

Laurie Root, Naturalist with Game, Fish & Parks, will cover the basics of ice fishing.The purpose is to provide an informal, non-competitive setting in which to learn outdoor skills, meet others with like interests, and to just have a fun afternoon in the beautiful Black Hills. Everyone is welcome: children, women and men.

Laurie will talk about fishing rods, different baits and lures, using an ice auger, and safety. We will have plenty of time for fishing. Fishing gear will be provided. If you have your own, please bring it along. To make sure there is enough equipment for everyone, contact Laurie at 721-9545 if you plan to attend.

What to wear and bring: A fishing license is required for anyone 16 years or older. Licenses may be purchased at many sporting goods retailers or over the Internet at the GF&P website: www.sdgfp.info . Dress appropriately for the weather. Good, warm boots and socks are a must. Bring water. You may also wish to bring a snack and something to sit on.
