2018 Tournament Results

We had another great tournament at Curt Gowdy State Park on Saturday Feb 3rd 2018.  This year all 3 reservoirs were open to fishing.  North Crow reservoir is the only one that holds Grayling and Splake.  Crystal and Granite reservoirs were more heavily fished as they hold much more fish in general.

There was no wind at all until about 10am, and then the wind started to creep in.  About noon the wind was strong and sustained.  The blowing snow across the ice always creates an environment of intensely unique beauty for those who appreciate such landscapes.  About 200 people turned out for the event!

This year we the prizes were:
