For a tournament in its 2nd year (I think there was one at Evergreen last year) this one has no shortage of prizes for the $35 entry fee (AND I HAVE NO CONNECTION WITH THIS TOURNAMENT...Nate asked if I would throw up a thread about it....it sounds neat and I am the first to ***** when Aurora Reservoir has cancelled event after event...SO I AM GOING!). Nate Zelinsky's Ice Addiction Tournament is Saturday February 1st at Chatfield Reservoir and he says it is a go. This is set up like the Minnesota Jaycees tournaments are set up. An area on the lake is roped off and a zillion holes are predrilled with door prizes given out at various times (on his website it says door prizes are given out every 5 minutes!) during the tournament. Everyone fishes out in the open with one rod in one hole (minimizes cheating like has happened at some of the mountain tournies where people could fish all over the lake with illegal bait or smuggle fish in) and you can use electronics. Think of a fishing tourney with great prizes and a social event that ice fishing is all rolled into one! Plus it is the morning on the Saturday before Superbowl Sunday. You know you wanted to get out that weekend but not go far saving yourself for the Superbowl party on Sunday. This fills that void perfectly. Here is the prize list..
1st- $2,500 CASH
2nd- Jiffy Propane Auger and $500 to Bass Pro Gift Card
3rd-Clam Warrior shelter, Ice Armor Suit
4th- Ice Armor Suit, Clam Scout, Mr Heater Big Buddy Heater

That is an estimated Value of $8,655 in Cash and Prizes! We hope to see everyone there. There will be signs to the fishing location at the park on the day of the event. The Event will be on the west side of the reservoir.
Starting on January 30th at 5pm you can call 720-775-7770 and there will be recorded information on any changes or updates on the event.
Here is link to pre-register and the rules (it does appear there is some ticketmaster type couple buck registration fee so be warned...it would cost you more to pay for gas to drive to the mountains for the weekend).
