Fun, friendship and learning for a good cause on Saturday, January 26!
The daylong event powers a great deal of the good SWTU does for our coldwater resource throughout the year. It’s a fun and relaxing day of learning, conversation and prizes. It’s also a place where friendships are forged and renewed.

The Icebreaker will once again be at American Family Insurance on the east side of Madison! (Google Map Link.) Join us for great speakers, conservation partners, and of course, a bucket raffle and silent auction featuring fabulous prizes!
Fly tiers and more fly tiers
We’re on track to have more master fly tiers than ever to share their expertise and stories with you. This is a fantastic hands-on aspect of the annual event and people always leave with nuggets of knowledge that help them better understand the natural world.
Many hands make light work!
This incredible event is powered by you, our members! We need a variety of volunteers the day of the event Contact Ben Lubchansky with questions or to volunteer.
