Join NJDEP Fish & Wildlife’s R3 Fishing Program for an introductory Ice Fishing Seminar. This seminar, which is strategically scheduled in November, is designed to provide an informative and welcoming environment to prepare you to ice fish. If New Jersey gets any safe ice this year, you’ll be prepared to hit the ice!

About the Seminar:
Anglers 18 years and older will be introduced to the sport of ice fishing by outdoor and ice fishing enthusiast David Alexander (www.natureintoaction.com). David is a lifelong educator, naturalist, and conservation biologist. This seminar will cover ice safety, staying warm and dry, targeting specific fish species, depth maps, ice fishing equipment, knots, bait selection and technique. Through lectures, demonstrations and hands-on components, you will learn the basics of ice fishing.

Notes:
This seminar is a classroom-based lecture with a hands-on learning component. There will not be a fishing component to this seminar.
You must have a Conservation ID# (CID#) to apply. This is the 9-digit number on your NJ Fishing or Hunting License.

Workshop Fee: FREE
