WIFA STATE CHAMPIONSHIP RETURNS TO SHAWANO LAKE IN NE WISCONSIN
The WIFA High School State Ice Fishing Championship is returning to beautiful Shawano Lake in northeastern Wisconsin for the 2023 event! The diverse fishery will offer student anglers a chance to chase a variety of species and challenge them to utilize multiple tactics and techniques to put fish on the ice!
The State Championship will once again be utilizing the FishDonkey App, which allows for a catch-photo-release process that helps protect the fishery for future years to come!
Shawano Lake was home to the 2016 WIFA State Championship, which was won by Wisconsin Rapids HS, narrowly holding off second place New Richmond.
The 2023 Championship figures to be as highly contested as ever, with lots of area teams holding local knowledge of the system, but also so many great teams coming in from all over the state to pre-fish and learn Shawano Lake. We can't wait to see how this Championship shakes out!
