Thank you everyone for a great season! From the anglers to the sponsors, from the hosts and volunteers, to everyone involved, a sincere thank you for making my first season as Director a success. We tried some new things, gained back several "Legacy Sponsors", signed up several new sponsors, gained a lot of confidence for the path forward and most importantly (to me anyway) developed new relationships with other circuits that I firmly believe is the future for ice fishing tournaments.

Registration is now open, entry closes March 12, 8:00PM.

Contact the Quilt Inn for lakefront lodging (across the street) 701-263-6500, or the Cobblestone for Bottineau lodging 701-534-2121

Regretfully, the first tournament of our 2022 season, the West Yellowstone Ice Fishing Tournament, will NOT be conducted as scheduled due to extremely unstable and inconsistent ice pack conditions, and an unfavorable forecast to hope for any change before the tournament date.

Well, the weather has been all over the map, but today looks like the big change.  Cold temperatures are here, which will firm up the surface and make for very rough conditions for Saturday and Sunday.  The schedule for the next four days has an informal gathering tonite (Thursday) at the Pinehurst with a soup and sandwich bar starting at 6PM for $10, and Friday night team check in and packet pick up starting at 430, followed by complimentary dinner for all teams provided by the Pinehurst at 6PM, and the rules meeting to follow at 630PM.
