The yellow Fish Friendly Ice Shack, left, was donated to Wilton Fish & Game Sunday by state Sen. Tom Saviello of Wilton during the annual ice-fishing derby on Wilson Lake. The red tents were used for a free Family Fishing Clinic held by Emily MacCabe from the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife’s Hooked on Fishing program. A lot of children came out to try ice-fishing despite the cold winds blowing across the lake.
The Fish Friendly Ice Shack, left, and other tents used for the free Family Fishing Clinic are pictured near the boat launch at Wilson Lake in Wilton Sunday during the Wilton Fish & Game annual ice-fishing derby. Several shacks farther out on the lake are hard to see as wind-drifted snow covered some roads on the ice, Alan Hart, an organizer, said.
