Veterans Ice Fishing Event 2025

The Highground will host a day of ice fishing on Saturday, February 1, 2025!

The Highground is excited to announce registration is open for the one-day Ice Fishing Event on Lake Arbutus on Saturday, February 1. This event is open to all male and female Veterans and Veterans will be treated to great food during the day. Note: This event is dependent on weather and ice conditions.

The ice fishing day is offered with the generous hosting and fishing guide assistance of Paul Borsheim, Mike Prindle, Eugene Bertrand and Josh Olson. Ice fishing equipment and guidance in comfortable ice fishing shacks will be available for registered Veterans who do not have experience and/or their own equipment. Veterans who have experience ice fishing and/or their own equipment can also register for this fun event. Note: All Veteran attendees are responsible for getting their own valid Wisconsin fishing license and having it with them while they are ice fishing. Veterans can get their fishing licenses online at gowild.wi.gov.

This is a unique Central Wisconsin opportunity to spend a day in the company of fellow Veterans, make new friendships and enjoy what The Highground and surrounding area has to offer.

Registration is required by January 17, 2025. For more information and to reserve a spot, Veterans are invited to contact Theresa by email at museum@thehighground.org or by calling 715-743-4224.
