The Lake Capote Ice Fishing Contest returned to the Southern Ute Indian Reservation on Saturday, Feb. 15. drawing over 125 participants from around the region to compete for the coveted prize categories. Awards for the biggest fish go out to youth and adult categories for bass, trout and catfish. Warming trends in spring weather leading up to this year’s tournament caused fears of a cancellation, never-the-less ice conditions remained stable and safety was not an issue as the fisherman set out to catch their limit on Saturday.
