RUTLAND â With the 2021 winter ice fishing season firmly underway, and Free Fishing Day coming up on Saturday, January 30, the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department (VTFW) announced it has created an online Virtual Ice Fishing Festival to help new anglers learn about ice fishing equipment, gear, and techniques.
For the past seven years, VTFW has hosted an in-person ice fishing festival on Free Fishing Day to introduce new anglers to the activity. Held on a different frozen lake each year, participants would gather to learn skills such as ice safety, knot tying, using ice fishing rods and tip-ups, fish identification, and even fish cleaning and cooking.
