>Go ice fishing!
You’ll need special ice fishing gear–like an ice auger and maybe even an ice fishing hut to keep you warm. If you know someone who ice fishes, ask them if you can come along. They’d probably be totally delighted to show you how and to lend you a rod!
Hint: Maggots make good ice fishing bait and you can usually get them at your local bait shop near popular ice fishing lakes.
Safety first: Go with an adult who knows what they’re doing and always make sure the ice is nice and thick.
Make this a family activity: Go out as a family and see if you can catch supper.
This activity promotes an interest in nature and outdoor sports, as well as patience.
