The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries wants you and the kids to come fish with them this Saturday, September 10 on Lake Ivan, and you'll get FREE lunch and might even win a prize!

From 6:30 am until 12:00 noon, the LDWF will host their "Family Fish Fest" on Lake Ivan and essentially it's a fishing tournament; a FREE tournament with prizes for the top 3 finishers in a number of categories, whether you're fishing from shore or out in a boat.  And since it's a "family" event, the entire family can compete!

This event is a FREE event, therefore no entry fee is required. Registration may be completed online at www.wlf.la.gov/FFFIvan or in-person the morning of the tournament.

Online registration will close at noon this Thursday, September 8. All participants will be assigned numbers according to the order of completed registration.  Participants MUST check in with tournament staff to receive angler’s number prior to start of fishing.  Each participant may only be registered to fish in ONE category (either shore OR boat).  Participants MUST be present to receive prizes and giveaways.
