RHINELANDER - Anglers from across the country came to Rhinelander Friday to compete at the USA Ice Team open trials. Yes, ice fishing has a national team.
"This entire weekend is our US trials," said USA Ice Team Coach Brian Gaber. "So just like gymnastics or hockey or any other US national team, they've got a finals weekend. We've got twenty anglers from four or five different states--Nebraska, Ohio, Minnesota, Michigan, and Wisconsin--trying out for our team."
The world championships will be held in Latvia next year. About two dozen people are fishing to get about six spots on the US team.
