Date: Thursday, May 4
Time: 6:30pm-9:00pm
Location: Dead Creek WMA  (Stonebridge Dam), Panton VT | map

Learn the basics of bullhead fishing in these informative hands-on clinics. Each program will explore different fishing styles used to target bullhead, which are found in many of the shallower, muddier lakes, ponds and rivers of Vermont. Brown Bullhead, like other species in the catfish family, are nocturnal bottom feeders, so the programs will take place in the evening when they are more active. Equipment will be provided but participants should dress for the weather and bring a headlamp. Location details and specifics will be given out upon registering.
