A friend sent me a text message that I found interesting. It was about a fishing tournament to be held this coming Sunday. There was a phone number to call for information, so I did. I talked to Abrahan Barajas, and he explained that he and his classmate Francisco Villanueva Aswell were doing an ice fishing tournament for their senior project at Warden High School. The tournament is “just for fun”, with the top prize of a trophy they bought for the event. The tournament will be at Corral Lake, which is just across the road and down the hill from Mar Don Resort. The lake is usually planted with rainbow trout and the angler that catches the most fish will win the prize. The daily limit for trout is five fish, so they may have to be creative to determine the winner. The poster states that a fishing license is required for all those over 15 years of age, and the tournament is scheduled from 1 to 4 afternoon on Sunday, February 5th. I thought it was great that a couple of young men, who obviously love fishing, would stage such an event. Be sure to check the safety of the ice before you get too far out on the lake and remember this is just for fun.
