The Sackville Rod and Gun Club are holding an ice fishing day at Silver Lake (Morice Pond) on Saturday, February 15, 2020. The event will be held between 9-11am at no cost to participants. Participants can park and meet us at the Lillas Fawcett Park and we will leave from there.

That weekend is part of the Winter “Fish NB Days” (Feb 15-17) where both resident and non-resident anglers can fish without a license or guide.

We will pre-register up to 15 children between the ages of 5 and 15 to come and spend this time with us learning about ice fishing. We will provide the equipment and bait for these children to ice fish this event. Hot chocolate and refreshments will also be provided. Participants are encouraged to dress according to the weather, and layers are recommended. Parents are asked to accompany their children if they are under 13, and are encouraged to stay with the older children as well. They can even try their hand at ice fishing.

To register, please call Paul and Shirley Branscombe at 506-536-3539

This event will be subject to ice and weather conditions as safety is a primary consideration for us. Any cancellations will be communicated through our social media, email, and website.

Outside of these 15 children and their parents, we would encourage other club members and residents to grab their own gear and enjoy this event with us. Anyone can come if they have their own gear!

Anyone interested in volunteering or providing gear for the event can contact Wayne Ward at president@sackvillerodandgun.ca or 506-364-3890
