Get together with some friends and head out for an ice fishing adventure. Tournaments are held almost weekly in Colorado from late December through the beginning of March. There are both team and individual tournaments.

Adults will need a valid fishing license to compete in these tournaments. In most of the contests with multiple days, you are free to choose how many days you fish. Cash money is usually the prize. There are very few activities like ice fishing in Colorado where you can walk around on frozen lakes in the middle of the Rocky Mountains.
