Shawano Lake figures to be packed on Feb. 18, as Shawano is set to host the 2023 Wisconsin Interscholastic Fishing Association State Ice Fishing Championship.
Approximately 70 schools from across the state will participate in the event, with Oconto Falls, Gillett, Shawano, Bonduel and Pulaski representing this area. With the event kicking off at 7 a.m. and ending at 2:30 p.m., each team will consist of a maximum of 12 fishermen per school. From there, team members can split into two groups, with a coach each.
