Forty-three Fort Riley Soldiers spent time Wednesday morning fishing at Milford Lake with participants in the upcoming Cabela’s National Team Walleye Championships at the reservoir.

They departed the Milford Marina at 7 a.m., returning about 11 a.m.

The tournament itself, featuring approximately 175 2-person teams, runs Thursday through Saturday. They will be competing for more than $274,000 in prize money. ( Photos courtesy of Rick Dykstra )
