Chaska Fire Departments 52nd Annual Ice Fishing Tournament is on Saturday, January 24th, 2009. We have all prize information , FAQ's, etc. posted on our web site. Check it out at chaskafire dot org It should be a fun time for the whole family again. We had another great year last year and are looking forward to another great year come January. Thanks to all of you that showed this last year and an early thanks to anyone who wants to come out and fish it again in January. Hopefully this snow will let up so we can get a good base of ice before the snow gets to deep.

Just nine days until the Chaska Fireman's Ice Fishing Contest.

Saturday January 24th from 1:00 till 3:00 p.m. Mark your calendars and check out all the prizes at chaskafire dot org.

It sounds like the cold is going to break this coming weekend and be nice thru next week. Hoping for nice weather and hope to see you there.

Well, the time has come for the contest. It's going to be a chilly day tomorrow so dress warm and have fun if you show up. We are putting off drilling holes until 11:00 a.m tomorrow, 2 hours later than normal, but the holes are still going to freeze over a bit so bring a small ice chissel if you plan on coming down and brave the cold. National Weather Service says that the lows tonight are going to be about -15 deg. with a high of 2 deg. Hope to see you on the lake and happy fishing.

This is starting to look like a blog. We've got the fish weigh-in tent set up and the onions are frying for the fresh hamburgers. Mmmmm! They smell good and bet they'll taste even better once you try them.

The ice is at 14 inches and we got to plow more of the lake off than originally on Tuesday so that should open up the better fishing areas a bit.

See you in about 3 hours if you can make it.

Again, Thanks for the support!
