ANSONIA - A free ice fishing class is being offered by the Parks & Recreation Department in January.
The class is taught by certified instructors from the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection C.A.R.E. Program.
C.A.R.E. is an acronym for Connecticut Aquatic Resources Education.
These are experienced fishermen who volunteer to share their experience and expertise with anyone wanting to learn.
The classroom instruction will take place at the Ansonia Armory, 25 N. Cliff St. from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Jan. 25.
The classroom instruction covers the basics of the equipment, safety, dress, rules, and regulations and species identification.
Participants then have two opportunities to actually practice what was covered in the classroom session.
The first is at a statewide ice fishing derby held in Coventry Jan. 28. All equipment, bait, and instruction is provided free of charge.
The second fishing event is in Torrington on Feb. 4. The Torrington event is “No Child Left Inside” Winter Festival.
Various winter activities are offered at Burr Pond State Park. Ice fishing is one of the main attractions and again is completely free.
Additional information about the fishing events will be available at the classroom session.
Advance registration is required to insure sufficient materials are provided for the class.
The class is open to all ages, and participants, not just Ansonia residents.
It is recommended that children under 12 be accompanied by an adult.
Register by calling Dave Connelly, chief instructor, at 203-231-0946.
