Welcome to the 2012 Wisconsin Ice Fishing League(WIFL), presented by Wisconsin Team Circuit.   This will be our 2^nd year of providing ice fishing tournaments.

The mission of WIFL is to provide a fun environment for ice fishing while providing high quality, friendly competition for every participant and the promotion of ice fishing as an exciting and enjoyable outdoor activity for those of us in the “ice” states.  

Wisconsin Ice Fishing League is a series of 4 individual team tournaments where the anglers compete for money.  Each participant in a WIFL event must have a Wisconsin Team Circuit membership.  Cost of a annual membership is $10 per individual.  The family membership is $15 for a 2-person team if the team members are part of an immediate family.  The membership must be paid with the first tournament entered.  A member can participate in all Wisconsin Team Circuit events, including WIFL, for all of 2012.     

Each qualifying tournament will be open to the first 30 teams who register.  Each team will consist of 2 people.  Entry fee for each qualifying tournament is $100 per team.  The four qualifying tournaments will last 5 hours, beginning at 8:00AM and ending a 1:00PM.  The team limit is a total of 12 pan fish.  Pan fish eligible are sunfish, bluegill, pumpkinseed, perch and crappie.  All weigh-ins will be conducted indoors at the weigh-in sites listed with the lakes.  The rules explain how each team’s fish are transported to the weigh-in site.  There will be a meeting on the morning of each tournament to cover specific rules and the procedures each team will follow during the tournament.

There are 10’s of thousands of ice fishermen in Wisconsin.  Tournament fishing for bass, walleyes and muskys are familiar to every outdoor enthusiast.  Ice fishing tournaments are in their infancy.  With 2012 being only our second year in providing ice fishing tournaments we are still in the growing stage.     

In addition to competing for the money at each event, the teams will also receive points based on how they finish each event.  We will withhold 15% of the entry fee from each of the 4 tournaments.  This pot of money will be paid out(100%), based on total points accumulated in the 4 tournaments, the following way:

The second highest total point team will receive 35%, third highest-30%, 4^th highest-20% and 5^th highest-15%.  The Top Team, the team who attains the highest point over 4 tournaments, will receive St. Croix Rod merchandise and will fish all the tournaments in 2013 for free.

Pay backs for each tournament and the general rules governing each tournament are listed on the entry form.

Entry forms for each qualifying tournament can be printed from this website.
