Participation & Eligibility Rules:
1. Contestants must register with the landing personnel each time they enter or leave the lake.
2. Fishing during the Frozen Tozen will be conducted according to Wisconsin DNR rules.
3. This is a recommended catch and release tournament. All fish must be measured by the angler on the ice
near the landing, under the supervision of the landing personnel. Length will be determined by using the

6. An adult must accompany any registrant under 12 years of age.
7. Contestants are responsible for obtaining all their own equipment.
8. All fish will be judged on length only. If there is a tie at a particular length, then time registered will be used
to determine the winner with the earliest time declared the winner. If both length and time caught are the
same, duplicate recognition will be given and cash prize will be split.
9. 6-inch minimum requirement on all registered fish.
10. The Frozen Tozen personnel reserve the right to examine any fish when the Committee Chair deems that
action necessary.
