Free Ice Fishing Seminars at Fish and Game in January

Posted December 10, 2013 By NewsEngine

Polish up your ice fishing skills by taking advantage of two free ice fishing seminars being offered in Concord this January by the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department. The talks will feature two local experts presenting their proven tactics for successful ice fishing. The talks will begin at 7 p.m. at Fish and Game headquarters in Concord. No pre-registration is necessary, but come early for a good seat!

On Wednesday, January 15, Adrian Lavoie of YOAdrien Charters will present a seminar on ice-fishing for lake trout and white perch by jigging and tip-up fishing. Lavoie is entering his tenth year of professional guiding on New Hampshire lakes. He will de-mystify the new gear that’s available to make ice fishing more comfortable and productive. His business, YOAdrien Charters, is a year-round guide service for anglers on lakes throughout New Hampshire, concentrating on the waters of Lake Winnipesaukee. During the winter months, Lavoie targets lake trout and white perch by jigging and tip-up fishing. He catches lots of other species through the ice, too, including rainbow trout, pickerel, crappie and bass. At this talk, you’ll learn what a guided ice fishing trip is all about, plus get tips for your own winter ice fishing adventures.
