Children’s Fishing Tournament

25th Annual Children’s Fishing Tournament

Gather your fishing gear and bait buckets for the Lake Youth Foundation’s 25 th Annual Children’s Fishing Tournament which will be held on Saturday, June 22nd from 8am -12:00pm. The event will be held at the Lake of the Woods front entrance pond for children ages 5 to 14 years old.

Registration ends June 21st and space is limited so please register early; NO registrations will be accepted at the event. There is no charge for this event but Lake Youth Foundation is a non-profit organization serving the youth of Lake of the Woods; donations are greatly appreciated and are tax deductible. You can register online by clicking here . There is a field on the registration form to indicate if your fisherman needs a rod & reel to participate.

Check-in on the day of the tournament will begin at 8am. The actual fishing competition will start at 9am and end at 11am; the awards ceremony will follow at 11:30am. Snacks and drinks will be available. This is a catch and release competition so each competitor should bring their own equipment including a large bucket to fill with water and transport the fish back and forth to the measuring tables. It is also live bait only – no lures. Please review the tournament rules by clicking here; all competitors are expected to carry their own catches to the judging tables. Parents may assist with our very youngest contestants but contestants must have a hand on their bucket. Size your bucket accordingly.

There will be a 50/50 Raffle so bring your cash and try your luck.

Park at Holcomb Building or in the lower level of the Clubhouse and be very careful crossing the streets near the front gate.
