Ice-fishing tourney planned at Vallecito

Ben Zimmerman of Bayfield ice fishes on Vallecito Reservoir in 2013. An ice-fishing tournament will be held on the reservoir for the first time in five years.

The Vallecito Sporting and Conservation Association has announced the first ice-fishing tournament on Vallecito Reservoir since 2010.

The event is scheduled from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Feb. 21 at the Beaver Dam tie-up.

Prize money totals $6,000. Registration is from 9 to 11 a.m. at the community center at the north end of the lake. The final weigh-in will be from 2 to 2:30 p.m. at the same location.

Competition will be for biggest trout, biggest pike and heaviest stringer, which can be a combination of pike and trout but not a fish entered as the single heaviest.

Information is available from Jim Schank, president of the sponsoring association.
