Seventh graders from the Higher Ground Academy charter school in St. Paul go ice fishing on the city's Como Lake last January. Physical education teacher Karl Erickson said the school is using a $5,000 No Child Left Inside grant to purchase ice fishing equipment, including fish houses, heaters and fish finders.

A large group of ice fishermen wait for bites on a warm and sunny Friday afternoon near Prairie Island Campground in Winona. Snow is in the forecast for today — depending on which way the storm shifts, total accumulation could be as little as 1-2 inches or as much as 8 inches — but warmer temperatures are on the way next week, which means ice fishing season is nearing its end.
MADISON – Grab your gear and get fishing Jan. 16-17 during the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources’ Winter Free Fishing Weekend. This event is a great time to discover the fun and excitement of winter fishing without a license or trout stamp.
