Dear Bob, how many free spots are available? What is the camping like up there? I have never been to this area (or fished the lake) and wondering how the fishing is?

Entry fee is how much per team? Also, July LONG weekend? Odd time for a tourney.

We are just getting going now so lots of room yet(70ish spots yet? )Lots of camping , plus we have overflow if nothing else suits you.Some days you cant keep the walleye off with an 10pd plus sometimes, some times pike are crazy ( some monsters ), and other days slow.I havnt figured the lake out yet but some locals clean up on the walleye all the time.Big lake ,so will take some time to learn.$600 pr team, good payout.Had to fit the tourny in with the rest of the trail plus the town has a great Canada day celebration with fire works so makes for a great time for all.

Hi Bob. Guess you might have given up on me but I am still alive and well. It was my computer that finally gave up the ghost after 17 years on-line so I have been without my forum fix for a while. I am still trying to talk my young nephew into joining me that weekend, but I think he has a wedding that time of year. Maybe his own. Contact me for a day of ice fishing before too long and we can discuss the summer, if you please.

Just a bump to the top with a question for Walleye Bob. Are you filling up fast now that the weather has changed?

If you are planning on going, try the Timberland Motel. Clean quiet and inexpensive.

Fished this contest with my wife's niece's son this past week and had the schooling of my life. I learned more about walleye fishing from Walleye Bob and other members of the Western Canadian Walleye Trail the last few days than I have learned about the sport in my life.

I had the smallest boat in the flotilla, the youngest partner (17) and probably the only amateurs in the place. Because I had boat #25, we were the 25th boat to leave on Saturday, last boat in the first flight. That gave me an hour to get out of the way. It also meant that I was the first boat out on the second flight on Sunday. That gave me less than a minute to get out of the way! You just can't imagine how fast a 21' Ranger with a 275hp Merc. strapped to the transom will go. Now picture 24 of them coming at you at 60mph (I can make about 30mph with perfect water and a perfect trim), and the wakes created by that many speedboats at once is truly heart-stopping if you get at it the wrong way. Too much fun!!

We did not do great on the first day, only one 2.38 lb, because the wave action dictated that we stay away from the deep end of the lake, some thirty miles away. The second day we fared a little better and brought in 7.17 lbs for an aggregate of 9.55 lbs. good enough for 34th place. (one of my "pro" mentors only did 6.5 lbs but in fairness had a rookie rookie partner)

The most important part of the weekend is that I was able to prove to myself that I can compete with the big dogs and do okay. I was instructed by the pros, and I learned what new items I need to install in my boat to make me even more competitive, and which things I do not need.

Don't be shy. If you want to compete in this type of contest, try. Try hard. You too can be successful and that only leads to a more successful second, third fourth attempt until abracadabra, prize money.

Friendly town, great organizing commitee, easy going (but intense) contestants and lots of prizes and cash. See you there next year.
