CAMP LIST

• Food

  • I will bring hot dogs and muffins for dinner and breakfast. I will also have hot chocolate.

  • You bring:

    • A can of chili

    • We will have hot water. Bring instant oatmeal if you want that, or bring something else you like.

    • Lunch - Something you don't have to cook.  Sandwiches, tortilla wraps,  or just snacks. I like tortillas and bagel sandwiches because they are tough, and don't smash. 

• See pack lists for winter camping lists

• This should be a much warmer ice-fishing trip than we have had in the last few years. However, if you have any concerns about getting cold bring two sleeping bags! 

• A good insulated pad or pads.  

• Fishing pole if you have

  • Rob recommended chartreuse green Paddle  Bug or white Tube Jig lures.

• Rag to wipe hands when you catch a fish

• A camp chair.

• Sunscreen and Sunglasses

• Winter Boots, Gaiters, Snow Pants, Thermals 

• Toe warmers, keeping feet warm is a priority.

• Gloves often get wet. Bring a second pair.

• License if >= 16

  • We will be using a youth organization exemption for licenses. However, this only covers youth to age 15. If you are >=16 you need to get a license.

• Tents - Bring your own or if you are joining someone, make sure you have planned it together.
