Ice fishing tourney Jan. 30

The Benton County Conservation Board will be hosting an ice fishing tournament at Hannen Lake two miles southwest of Blairstown on Saturday, January 30, 2016. The event will run from 8AM to 2PM. Hannen Lake is at 1949 Benton-Iowa Road, Blairstown, Iowa.

This event is open to the public and no entry fee is required. All general fishing regulations including the requirement of a fishing license are still in place during this event.

During this event concessions will be served in the shop located on the west side of Hannen Lake. Prizes will be awarded for the biggest fish of each species caught. Ten dollar raffle tickets will be sold for a chance to win a Vexilar FL18 fish finder. Five dollar raffle tickets will be sold for a chance to win a Clam ice fishing shelter. The drawing for the Vexilar and Clam Shelter will be held at 2PM; need not be present to win.

Given the mild recent weather and present ice conditions this event will be canceled if ice is not safe by the day of the event. If there is less than eight inches of ice on the lake the day of the event it will be canceled. Regardless of whether the tournament is held the Vexilar and Clam Shelter will be raffled off at 2PM the day of the event.

This is an excellent opportunity to introduce a novice or youth to ice fishing. Anyone who has questions about this event or wants tickets for the raffles should contact Hannen Lake Park Ranger Logan Hahn at 319-560-9804.
