Anglers can learn the basics of ice-fishing or pick up a few new tips from experienced anglers at Discover Ice-Fishing clinics in January.

The  Nebraska Game and Parks Commission’s Youth Fishing Program will host three on-ice events and one classroom event. From 9 a.m. to noon Mountain Time Jan. 11, the  Nebraska Fish and Game Association will host a classroom clinic at the Alliance Eagles Club, 1520 W. 3rd St. This will feature presentations by some of Nebraska’s top ice fishermen. Registration is suggested by emailing [email protected].

From 2 to 4 p.m. Jan. 11, anglers can head to Laing Lake in Alliance to Discover Ice-Fishing with volunteer instructors helping you learn while on the ice.

The other on-ice events will be from 2 to 4 p.m. Jan. 19 at Lincoln’s Holmes Lake (located about mid-lake along the north shoreline drive), and 2 to 4 p.m. Jan. 25 at Norfolk’s Skyview Lake.
