Calendar
The Patriot Anglers, along with our partners, are providing a free day of ice fishing in the Rocky Mountains for all Veterans and their support persons, which may include family or friends. Vets on Ice is designed to provide both an education, and the equipment necessary for participants to try their hand at ice fishing. The goal of the event is to introduce a healthy and active recreational opportunity to Veterans, at no cost to them.
Wellington lake will play host this year, offering free access with no fishing license needed. Wellington Lake is a privately-owned natural wilderness area. The 167-acre lake is being managed as a trophy fishery with an emphasis on conservation. Lunch, equipment, and fishing instruction will all be provided. In addition, there will be several great fishing giveaways, to include guided fishing expeditions.
