Welcome to the 18th annual Fish Camp.
Did you know that at our very first Fish Camp 18 years ago, not one person brought a boat. Last year we had 33 boats and numerous kayaks. This year we expect even more.
Once again the beautiful Turtle Flambeau Flowage is the backdrop for our event. Three side by side resorts will house our capacity of 75 Women. We will begin the festivities on Thursday, October 3rd and go until Sunday October 6th. You will have the option of adding Sunday night to get the most out of your weekend.
Each year we hold a variety of classes. You will find this years tentative schedule at the end of this page. We are very excited about this years line up.
As usual, we plan in holding a fun tournament, have several raffles and a fire at night. The goodie bags are bursting with tackle. If fact we just may change our tournament to require only items from the goodie bags can be used. We provide one meal and the rest of the food is on your own. There is a bar that serves food right on the property. Join in on the event page to ask questions you may have or add your class request. Registration will open on of Aug 24th at 5 PM. You will be able to find the form here. First come first serve. Must be a member to attend. Cost of the event is $275. Event includes, Thursday, Friday, Saturday nights lodging, one meal, goodie bag, classes, an event shirt, and a raffle will be held. Watch the Facebook page for updates. One lucky winner will receive a stay at the Bella Carrabelle Vacation Rental.
Watch for sponsor updates on our Facebook Page.
