Learn how to make an ice-fishing tip-up, then make a working tip-up all your own!  Members of our Volunteer Veterans Conservation Corps will have pre-cut parts all ready for you to assemble.  The workshop will then discuss ice fishing techniques and safety.  Participants are also invited to sign up for our February Ice Fishing on Lake Defiance, pending safe ice, of course.  This workshop is open to adults and children ages 10 & up.
