Austin Barchenger, right, and Jackson Bryant, both of Bismarck, fish for walleye and perch at Sibley Lake in central North Dakota on Saturday, Jan. 20, 2018.
North Dakota’s free ice fishing weekend is Dec. 28-29. Resident anglers may fish those two days without a license. Residents 15 and younger do not need a fishing license at any time of year. All other winter fishing regulations apply.
The weekend provides a great opportunity to try fishing for the first time or take someone new.
Information on regulations, where to fish and what equipment is needed to ice fish is available on the North Dakota Game and Fish Department’s website at gf.nd.gov.
