Washington County 4-H and the Washington County Conservation Board are working together to reach shared goals that involve youth, hands-on learning, healthy living and outdoor education.
Pending ice-forming, the Fish On Youth Ice Fishing Clinic is scheduled for January 31st from 8:30-10:30 a.m. Teaching will be led by Washington County Conservation naturalists, Iowa DNR officers and local volunteers. The event is open to any youth. Participants younger than 4th grade must have an adult attend to assist them one-on-one. The adult must have a current fishing license. This event will only be held if the weather produces safe ice for fishing.
4-H membership is not required to participate, and space is limited. Online registrations are accepted on a first come, first serve basis until filled. There is a $10 fee due to the Washington County Extension Office. Interested participants can find a link to register with this news story at KCIIRadio.com.
