GRANBY, Colo., Jan. 9, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Grand County Attracts Winter Anglers Hook, Line and Sinker
Winter fishing contests take place in January & February with large purses to the victors
True fisherman are not content to forget their passion just because of a little ice. During the winter, ice fishing provides an opportunity to not only bask in beautiful scenery, but also the chance to catch "the big one." With two different ice fishing contests taking place in early 2020 in Grand County, big prize purses also sweeten the experience.
