Kids Ice Fishing Day | McNally Boat Landing (Winona)
January 10 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
*Registration requested* Come fish with us! The annual Kids Ice Fishing Event is co-led by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Friends of the Refuge Headwaters!
Children and their families are invited to join in this free event, recommended for children ages 6-13. Children will be paired with experienced ice anglers who will assist them with a hands-on ice fishing experience. Bait, tackle and fishing rods will be available, however, participants are encouraged to bring their own ice fishing supplies if they have them and a bucket or folding chair to sit on while watching their bobber. Children should also be dressed appropriately for ice fishing; hats, mittens, snow pants, boots and winter coats. Hot chocolate, cookies, hot dogs and chips will be provided in a heated tent.
All children must be registered for the event by a parent or guardian. A registration station will be available at the McNally Boat Landing on the morning of the event. If the event is cancelled due to weather or unsafe ice conditions, an announcement will be posted here on Facebook. RSVPs are requested but not required.
The McNally Boat Landing is located on Prairie Island Road, between Prairie Island Campground and the Minnesota City Boat Club (GPS coordinates: Easting 605183, Northing 4881470). The McNally Boat Landing will be closed to public entry during this event.
