2026 SIKC Tournament Schedule – Official Release

We’re excited to officially release the full 2026 SIKC Tournament Schedule. This lineup was designed with feedback from our anglers, lake availability, expected participation, and overall club growth in mind. The result is a balanced trail that hits a mix of familiar water, new challenges, and high-quality fisheries across the region.

The full schedule is posted in the graphic below, including all dates and lakes for the 2026 AOY points season. These six events will decide the 2026 Angler of the Year race and will determine Classic qualification standings throughout the year.

A few notes for 2026:

• This schedule represents our primary AOY trail, meaning every event counts toward season standings and Classic eligibility.
• We expect larger fields next year, so anglers are encouraged to plan travel and lodging early for the lakes that tend to fill up fast.
• The Classic will again feature the top 20 in AOY points plus any angler who completes the participation requirement, with full details see the 2026 SIKC Rules.
• Memberships go on sale January 1, and as always, you must be an active member to fish points events. More reminders will be posted closer to that date.

This release is the first step in preparing for the new year. Over the next several weeks, we’ll share additional posts with breakdowns for each lake, reminders about rule updates, and information on what anglers can expect for 2026.

If you have questions about the schedule, membership, or planning for next season, feel free to drop them in the comments so we can keep everything in one place for members to reference.

Thank you all for another year of growth and support. We’re looking forward to an even bigger and better 2026 season on the water.
