Welcome to the 2013 Wisconsin Ice Fishing League (WIFL), presented by Wisconsin Team Circuit.   This will be our 3^rd 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 5 individual team tournaments where the anglers compete for money and points.  Each participant in a WIFL event must have a Wisconsin Team Circuit membership.  The cost of an annual membership is $10 per individual.  The membership must be paid with the first tournament entered.  A member can participate in all Wisconsin Team Circuit events, including WIFL and the bass tournaments, for all of 2013.     

Each qualifying tournament will be open to the first 41 teams who register.  Each team will consist of 2 people.  Entry fee for each qualifying tournament is $120 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 in Wisconsin are in their infancy.     

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 5 tournaments.  This pot of money will be paid out(100%), based on total points accumulated in the 5 tournaments, the following way:

-The Top Team, the team who attains the highest point over 5 tournaments, will receive two Gold Medals, St. Croix Rod merchandise, 22% of the Bonus Pot and will fish all the tournaments in 2014 for free.

-2^nd Top Team will receive 2 Silver Medals plus 28% of the Bonus Pot

-3^rd Top Team will receive 2 Bronze Medals plus 22% of the Bonus Pot

-2 Wild Cards will also be paid from the Bonus Pot.  All teams, except the Top 3, who have fished the 5 tournaments are eligible, through a drawing, to receive 14% of the Bonus Pot.

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.
