While the IBN is quite capable of hosting a safely run fishing tournament that would be in compliance with social distancing guidelines, the Governor’s Executive Order 2020-32 prohibits any fishing tournaments, so we are reluctantly canceling the 5/31 tournament. We will provide an update on future scheduled tournaments no later than two weeks prior to a scheduled event. In the meantime, please feel free to get in touch with your state representatives and let them know how you feel about the portions of the executive order that prohibit fishing tournaments. Below are the links to the executive order and the referenced boating and fishing guidelines from the IL Dept. of Commerce.
