The NY DEC will team up with Associate Editor of On the Water Magazine, Outdoor Tom Schlichter, to guide participants in a free ice fishing seminar and clinic on Saturday, February 6 from Noon to 2 p.m. It will be held at the Brookhaven Town Beach on Lake Ronkonkoma.
The event is in conjunction with the Town of Brookhaven Parks and Recreation Department and the I FISH NY program will provide free fishing rods on loan and bait. A DEC fishing license is not required to participate, no registration is required and the event is open for all anglers ages 10 and up. Participants are encouraged to bring a chair or stool and may opt to bring their own fishing rod and equipment. If there is safe ice on Lake Ronkonkoma participants will get a chance to try their hand at ice fishing.
For more information, call 631-444-0283.
Hi All, Just found out that due to the snow, this program has been cancelled. Apparently the snow is falling heavy around Lake Ronkonkoma and the Town of Brookhaven parking lot where the event is being held will not be plowed in time. Sorry. If you are still in the mood for a little hard water info, check out my article “Long Island Ice” in the January issue of OTW – or right here online under Freshwater – Bass and Panfish. – TS
