-Fox Lake, WI

Local youth gather on Fox Lake for a youth ice fishing clinic sponsored by the Lost Lake Preservation Association, Best Dam Baits, and Team USA Ice Fishing Team.

Organizers of the event were Pete Hupf of Best Dam Bait; Jim Kusuda, certified DNR instructor; and Doug Bussian of USA Ice Team.

“It all started back in October when Jim (Kusuda) gave an ice fishing work shop.” says Sondra Olson of the Lost Lake Preservation Association. “Kids learned on ways to avoid littering, good outdoor stewardship, and NOT TO STEP IN A HOLE.”

Jim Kusuda, a certified DNR instructor and USA Ice Team Member gave a hands on work shop in the warming tent. “It’s nice to have these events, the kids really learn something.”

Argo of Beaver Dam provided transportation both on and off the ice; Best Dam Bait provided tackle and bait along with gift bags for the youth, and Boathouse Pub and Eatery provided pizza and soda after the event.

This was the first year for the youth clinic, and there are plans on making the clinic an annual event.  To learn more about the Lost Lake Preservation Association, Email Sondra Olson at LostlakePA@hotmail.com
