WIFC organizers, in cooperation with The USA Ice Team, have chosen Rhinelander, Wisconsin as the official location of the 2010 WIFC event. (more…)

After fishing the December Championship then the series of qualifying tournaments there’s a certain void when it all ends. It’s not quite time for open water fishing. Even here in northern Illinois. In the last two years I’ve turned to the Ice Roads On Ice Clinics to fill the void. It’s the cutting edge ice fishing school designed for fishermen by fishermen. This year (2009) the ice road brought me and my cousin John to Lake Superior’s Chequamegon Bay in mid-March. We checked in on Friday afternoon to take in some educational seminars by Lake Superior guides, biologists and guest speaker Dave Genz. (more…)

Over the past year, USA Ice Team, in cooperation with the American Fishing Association (AFA), has worked diligently on their bid to host the 2010 World Ice Fishing Championship. This would be the seventh championship event in WIFC history, and its first time hosted in the United States. The selection committee meets this month to decide which country will earn the privilege of hosting this prestigious world-wide event.

Attached is the USA Proposal to FIPSed.
