VCSA Ice-Fishing Tournament
Hard water, big fish and a whole community out on the ice for the VCSA's annual winter derby.
Each February, the VCSA hosts an ice-fishing tournament on Vallecito Lake — the cold season's headline event. Plan the trip with the winter-day itinerary and the winter hub.
This year's date, entry, and rules: to be confirmed. The tournament is held in February; details go up once the VCSA announces them. Check the events page.
Before you go on the ice
You'll need a Colorado fishing license and a PRID permit (permits). New to hard water? Fisher Guide Service runs guided ice-fishing trips, (970) 769-0669. And the standing rule up here: never trust lake ice without local confirmation — we don't report ice thickness.
