'On Ice' Tour
Five. The Fifth. Numero Cinco. The Recycled Fish “On Ice” Tour is back to make a difference for a fifth year with the 2012 'On Ice' Tour. Join us on the ice this winter at some of the biggest and best events across the ice belt. Get the dates from our 'On Ice' Tour Schedule onto your calendar, or just take a peek at our Events Calendar.
If you’re within a day’s drive, you’ll want to register for the Hardwater Open Tournaments in Iowa presented by Scheels. The first is January 7 & 8, 2012 at the Okoboji Hardwater Open Tournament and then February 25 & 26, 2012 at the Big Creek Hardwater Open Tournament.
The Recycled Fish 'On Ice' Tour makes a big difference for waters across the ice belt. We’ve helped bring the catch and release ethic to ice fishing. We’ve handed out thousands of bags that have accounted for thousands of gallons of trash removed from the ice. We’ve had thousands of people take the Sportsman’s Stewardship Pledge to be protectors of our waters. Our Ice Bash events have brought the fun, and our Stewardship On Ice booklet is giving anglers everyday ways to help their waters.
This year the 2012 “On Ice" Tour will take the Recycled Fish message to over 50 events across the ice belt. Much of this is accomplished through partnership with tournament series like the North American Ice Fishing Circuit, Northeast Ice Tour, Ice Roads, True Ice Series, Vermont Sportsman Hardwater Tournaments and in partnership with organizations like Iceaholics Anonymous, Ice Shanty and Nathan Krusko’s Northeast Ice Fisherman .
The Recycled Fish “On Ice” Tour brings the Stewardship Ethic to waters across the ice belt every winter. It would be impossible without the support of Strikemaster, Clam Outdoors Ice Team, Grabber Warmers and Vexilar.
The Recycled Fish Hardwater Opens also receive support from Scheels of Des Moines, Berkley and Fenwick.
However, it is concerned anglers who support the tour that make the most impact. There are four easy ways to help:
(1) Donate to the 'On Ice' Tour
For every dollar we can get (6) gallons of trash out of our waters, or get (3) fish alive and swimming back in our lakes.
(2) Buy a “Short Rods” T-shirt
Of course our rods are short – it’s freezing out here! This funny long-sleeved tee makes everybody laugh.
(3) Purchase raffle tickets at our events, or contact us
Just $3 each or (2) for $5 and we just sell 1,000 each year for a big prize pack from Strikemaster, Vexilar & Clam.
(4) Fish in one of the Recycled Fish Hardwater Opens
These two “Open” tournaments are fun events where you can take home the bragging rights of a “piece of ice” and a pretty decent check, too!
Interested in volunteering at one of these events? We'd love a hand! Organizing or hosting an event that you'd like us to support? Give us a shout!
We also have some helpful tips about Ice Safety & Stewardship that we hope you’ll check out.
