The North Dakota Game and Fish Department's Becoming an Outdoors-Woman program has scheduled one-day winter workshops Feb. 3 at Buffalo Lodge Lake near Granville, and Feb. 23, 24 and 25 at Lake Metigoshe State Park, Bottineau.
The Buffalo Lodge Lake class is geared toward ice fishing and darkhouse spearfishing. "This will be an opportunity to learn about pike and see them in their natural habitat," said Nancy Boldt, BOW coordinator. All equipment will be provided.
Lake Metigoshe offers a variety of classes. A class on dog sledding is available all three days with a limit of six participants per session. Basic snowshoeing and winter tracking, winter ecology and cross-country skiing, and darkhouse spearfishing is available Feb. 24, with each class limited to 12-15 students. Darkhouse spearfishing will occur on an area lake. "On Sunday, if enough interest, we will again offer cross-country skiing, as well as ice fishing on Lake Metigoshe," Boldt said.
Women interested in the workshops should register immediately due to limited space available. The cost is $40 for one class or $60 for two classes. Pre-registration with payment is required. Equipment and snacks will be provided.
Information and registration forms can be obtained by contacting Nancy Boldt, North Dakota Game and Fish Department, 100 N. Bismarck Expressway, Bismarck, ND 58501-5095; 701-328-6312; or email ndgf@nd.gov.
