I offer a family fishing trip designed to introduce families with kids to fishing, over the years it has become a very popular trip. We do not fish for big fish focusing instead on perch and sunfish and it is 
possible that the kids will each catch a dozen or so fish in an afternoon.
April 1 was the opening day of open water fishing season in this part of Maine. That changed a short while ago and we can now fish through the ice until it melts and then in the open water 
right away. This change was of course unrecognized by nature. The ice is still in on most lakes and ponds and with rain last night the streams and rivers are high, cold and the water dirty.
The Mike Sabins Memorial Youth Fish & Game Association will hold a “Hooked on Fishing” ice fishing event sponsored by Inland Fisheries and Wildlife on Saturday, February 23rd on 
Seven Tree Pond at Ayer Park, Route #235 in Union from 10 am – 2 pm. Instruction, equipment, and refreshments will be provided. There is no fee to attend. Please plan to come and have some family fun in the Maine outdoors.
