All necessary materials and equipment will be provided—from augers and snowmobiles to rods and bait. Our experienced volunteers will be on hand to guide you, making this a fantastic event for all skill levels.
What to Bring:
Dress warmly! Layers, gloves, hats, and waterproof boots are highly recommended.
Bring your favorite warm drink to keep cozy out on the ice.
What to Expect:
Learn ice fishing techniques and safety tips.
Catch (and release!) some fish with fellow enthusiasts.
Enjoy a unique winter experience with great company.
This event is family-friendly and open to all. Whether you’re here to fish or just enjoy the fresh winter air, we’d love to see you there.
Ice fishing is a weather dependent activity and although we should be in good shape to get out on the ice by late January, we will update with any changes to the plan as the date gets closer.
In an effort to be able to better plan for this event, there will be a small charge to attend. It is our hope that by adding a small charge to these events, it will ensure that those who RSVP “yes” are committed to attending so that we are able to adequately plan for the necessary gear and equipment required to put on the event.
If the cost of attending an event or obtaining a membership presents a financial obstacle, we encourage you to reach out to us directly and we will make sure you are signed up without requiring payment. Need help registering for an event? Check out this article! If you’d prefer to pay in cash, please reach out to us directly at hello@5banglers.org so we can sign you up manually. Our events often occur in spaces with limited capacity and require equipment and materials for each registered participant. To ensure we can accommodate you, please register and pay in advance. Walk-ins are unlikely to be accommodated.
As a nonprofit organization, we use our personal equipment and also rely on donations from our members and the community to make these events happen. If you feel so inclined, you can make a financial donation here.
