Ice Fishing on Molly’s Pond

Posted on February 2, 2022 by tokeefe

What a great day to go ice fishing and play broomball on Molly’s Pond. We caught 2 bass and 1 bluegill. Thanks Mr Rojewski for organizing.

In January we headed up to Indian Mounds Scout Reservation for our winter sports campout. Joining us we had Webelos and their families. Everyone had a great time Skiing, Snowboarding, and Tubing at the Sunburst ski area.
