Kids 15-years-old and younger can discover the fun of ice fishing at the 21st annual Kids’ Ice Fishing Clinic at park ponds and lagoons in Milwaukee and Waukesha counties. Participants receive instruction on the proper use of equipment and techniques, knot tying, safety and much more. The clinics last 45 minutes and begin every hour on the hour starting at 9 a.m., with the last one starting at 2 p.m. If the weather and ice conditions allow, kids will be able to fish after receiving the classroom instruction.
