Title: Ice fishing tourney - Box Butte
Post by: fish_hooked on Dec 05, 2003, 08:37 PM

Hey all, I just received a flier in the mail and thought I'd help my old Chadron State College club out and mention their 9th annual Ice Fishing Tournament at Box Butte Reservoir.  It will take place on Jan. 24th, 2004 and is put on by the CSC Outdoor Adventures Club.    If anyone is interested, I can tell you where to find pre-registration info / tournament rules, prizes, etc.

fished this tourney a couple of times a very well run tourney. A very fun time. It always takes a lot of weight to win this one.

but if you are in the area you should run up to Gordon and fish the Shell lake tourney the next day. I grew up in Gordon and Shell is a very fun lake. Just make sure you make it to the feed and Calcutta the night before.

        I will fish both these tourneys this year very fun

Is the 25th of Jan. (the date for the Shell tourney) pretty much set in stone?  I have fished both tourneys in the past, and I know that they are not always back to back.  If I remember correctly, there was no Shell tourney last year due to poor ice conditions.  If they are back to back, what a great way to spend a weekend!

Hey fishunter,

If they have the tourney at Shell and I am sure they will this year since there is about 6" now it most likely will be the 25th. My parents live in Gordon so I will know the exact date. When I find out I will let you know.


                   see you there

Sounds great -- Thank you.  Were you there two years ago?  I don't think I've ever been as cold as I was that day!
