Announcing
2017 IWFA Guatemala Billfish Tournament
November 9-13, 2017
Casa Vieja Lodge

You heard about it at the 2016 Luncheon and perhaps met Herb Rosell from Casa Vieja Lodge. You saw the notice on the IWFA.org website. You saw it in the latest FishNet Newsletter and in our IWFA President's Message. So, now is the time to plan to attend the 2017 Billfish Tournament at the world class Casa Vieja Lodge in Guatemala. The lodge averages over 14 releases per boat per day with a record of 104 releases on one boat in a single day! Perhaps you've been following Connie O'Day and Kathy Gillen on Facebook in their latest adventure there! Amazing catches!!

The "All inclusive" Tournament Fee of $3,500.00 includes everything but airfare to Guatemala City and optional excursions!

Included: VIP airport reception, private chauffeured ground transfers, four nights accommodations (double occupancy), open bar, daily laundry service, ALL MEALS, 3-full days of billfishing (4 anglers per boat), ALL TACKLE, boat and house staff tips, angler gifts, awards.

This event will offer a unique format. First, we planned it over a weekend so those ladies who work can build it into their schedule. Second, the first day of the event will be a "fun fish" day where you can brush up your skills, fish with friends or even attempt to catch a sail on fly. Day 2 & 3 will be the tournament fishing days with traditional team and boat draws. Third, every night will be filled with fun activities, ending with an Awards Celebration featuring a pig roast and live music!

This is an event you won't want to miss. The event will be capped at the first 24 ANGLERS who register. Be prepared to place your $1,750.00 deposit at the time of registration beginning on February 9, 2017 with the remainder of your $1,750.00 tournament balance due by August 9, 2017.

Come join in on the fun of world class fishing with your friends!

Your Tournament Co-chairs,

Connie O'Day & Kathy Gillen
