The former NAIFC Tournament has a new name...The Michigan Ice Open on Hamlin Lake. During this tournament, anglers will head out on the lake to fish for bluegills and crappies in search of the $6,000 prize (based on 50 entries).

Changes this year include fishing on Saturday rather than Sunday, and a "Learn to Fish" session on Sunday. Registration fees have been lowered from $200 to $120, and participation is limited to the first 100 teams to register. Go to www.MichiganIceOpen.com to print off an online form.
