Get Your Ice Fishing On at the Poplar River Ice Fishing Contest

It’s that time of year! Get ready for the Poplar River Ice Fishing Contest on February 1st!

Mark your calendars for February 1st, and get ready to reel in more than just fish during the Poplar River Ice Fishing Contest. We’re talking cold hard cash for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners, with the prize pool growing based on entries—so the more anglers, the bigger the payout!

Here’s the best part: ALL holes are pre-drilled—because let’s face it, who wants to waste time digging? Just grab your rod and let the good times (and fish) roll. Oh, and did we mention there’s a largest fish contest? It’s for any species!

Plus, there’s a raffle with some killer prizes! You can snag 1 ticket for $20, 3 for $50 or go all-in with 7 tickets for $100. And no worries if you can’t make it in person—you don’t need to be present to win.

Call Doug Marottek at 406-728-7125 for more info, and get your gear ready for a day of fishing, fun and maybe even cash and prizes!
