2022 Youth Spring Tune up Outing – Saturday June 11 – Holcombe Flowage
Much like 2021, this will be a youth focused event and youth are encouraged to participate. Any youth under the age of 18 will be allowed to attend without being a member of Muskies Inc. We typically have a shore lunch during the middle of the day to break up the day. There will be door prizes for all youth under the 18 who participate, and a traveling trophy will be presented at the end of the outing. In hopes of growing this outing, we are extending the offer to any other clubs who wish to attend with a youth or donate some time in a boat or simply donate some prizes.
