Michiana Outdoors News welcomes fishing tournament schedules and results submitted by tournament organizers.

We can only list northern Indiana and southern Michigan tournaments that are open to the public.

Schedules must include entry fees and a phone number for readers to contact. Results must offer winners’ correctly spelled names, hometowns, weights and lures and/or patterns used. Those submissions listing only names only will be rejected.

We’ll occasionally run photos that are submitted digitally.

Identifications of those persons pictured are required.

Send your news as a Microsoft Word Document and photos in .jpg format to stoutoutdoors@comcast.net.
