Free Ice Fishing Day and Festival


Come to our Free Ice Fishing Festival to learn ice fishing basics, from tip-ups to filleting fish. Vermont Fish & Wildlife staff will be there to help everyone enjoy a winter day ice fishing with friends. Once again, Tom's Bait and Tackle is generously donating all bait needed for the day -- that's about about 5,000 maggots and 240 minnows!
