CARY – The McHenry County Conservation District’s first Frosty Fishing Fair will take place from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Jan. 5 at The Hollows Conservation Area, Lake Atwood, 3804 Route 14.

Local fishing experts will reveal the tips and tricks of ice fishing through free instruction and live demonstrations.

“Ice fishing is a fun way to get outside,” Mary Kozub, event coordinator, said in a news release. “You can take the whole family and it’s an inexpensive activity. On a nice winter day with a reflective sun, it can be quite pleasant.”
