O.K. folks - the NAIFC ice fishing tournament is getting underway January 17 - 19, 2014 at Hebgen Lake which is about 8 miles north of West Yellowstone.
There are activities for all ages. A few of the highlights are:
This is a National Qualifier for the NAIFC (North American Ice Fishing Circuit). The qualifier takes place on Sunday and is open to any two-person team. Pre-registration tells us that there are teams coming from nine different states. The top ten fishing teams will will receive an invitation to the 2014 NAIFC National/North American Championship to be held in Mille Lacs Lake, McQuoids Resort, Isle, MN in December of 2014.
The kids have not been left out. The free and open activities include a Kid's Ice Fishing Camp where they learn from the pro's and each child that participates will take home their own ice fishing rod set-up.
There is also a free indoor Cabela's Kids Ice Camp which starts with a tutorial that covers safety, equipment, bait and jigging styles and then they are taken out on the ice for more hands-on instruction. This starts at 1:00 p.m. and is followed by ice fishing on Hebgen Lake until 3:00 p.m. with NAIFC Pro Staff. There will be free hot dogs and hot chocolate for all kids starting at 12:30 p.m.
If you have never tried ice fishing now is your golden opportunity. Come on out.
