All ages and skill levels are welcome to join in on the fun.
36th Annual 3 Lakes Ice Fishing Tournament
Jan. 24–26, participate in the longest-running ice fishing tournament in the West. Hosted by Destination Granby and Sun Outdoors, participants carefully select their desired spots on one of three mountain lakes to drill a hole and drop a line for a chance to reel in the biggest catch. Guests are welcome to enter for one, two or all three days of the competition for a chance to win $26,000 in cash prizes, as well as gift cards, trophies and other prizes. If that’s not for you, you can still attend the kickoff party and awards ceremony at Sun Outdoors in Granby before and after fishing.
