Canyon Ferry was buzzing with excitement as anglers from all over gathered for the Ducks on Ice fishing tournament! With hundreds of tents speckling the frozen lake, the turnout was nothing short of incredible. As Paul from Lewistown put it, “The pictures do no justice to how many people are here at Canyon Ferry having a great day. 250-300? Tents. If not more.”
These highlight photos below capture just a glimpse of the energy and FUN that made this event one for the books!
