Indy Fishing LeagueIndy Fishing LeagueThe Major League Fishing concept is coming to Michiana as part of the Indy League Fishing (ILF).

Lake Drive Marine will be the title sponsor of two Michiana qualifying series that kicks off in early April and could earn anglers berths in the Kahlo Cup held near the end of the year.

Lake Drive Marine, located in Coldwater, Mich., ran a “test” event last fall and it was an overwhelming success. The event was won by South Bend native Greg Mangus of Fremont, Ind.

“Everyone said it was the most exciting format they had ever fished,” said Lake Drive Marine President Jeff Uetrecht. “Based upon that excitement and overwhelming interest, we decided to sponsor two more qualifying series and an invitational this year.”

The field for the two series will be limited to 24 in each series and Uetrecht expects the events to fill up within a couple of weeks.

Have a single tournament or a circuit scheduled for 2016 in the Michiana area?

We welcome all tournaments that are open to the public and fished within northern Indiana and southern Michigan.

Once again, the calendar, found on every page of our website, will be “powered” by Lake Drive Marine of Coldwater, Mich. and this year will be managed by Michiana angler Jeremy Bunnell, a friend of Michiana Outdoors News.
