The Kansas Bowhunters Association (KBA) will hold a carp bowfishing contest at Glen Elder/Waconda Lake on June 9-10, 2018. The group will headquarter at the Boller Point Campground (take Lake Drive south out of Cawker City across causeway and then west to campground). KBA signs will direct archers to the area.
KBA members invite anyone who has an interest to attend. Whether you’re an expert or a beginner who wants to learn more, the event is perfect for all levels of experience. Members will have bowfishing rigs available for those who don’t have their own.
Bring your own food and drink and plan to camp. The KBA will serve fish and onion rings on Saturday evening. Participants will compete to see who can bring in the most pounds of carp. Official start of the event is Saturday at 12:00 p.m. ending Sunday at 12:00 p.m. Only carp shot during those days and times will count toward an angler’s total. Bowfishing the named lake, river above and tailwater below is allowed.
Note: For anyone bowfishing, a Kansas fishing license is required (unless exempt by law). Arrows must have a barbed head and be attached by a line to the bow.
