WWA WI/UP DIVISION HEADING TO LAKE WINNEBAGO
The third stop in the World Walleye Association WI/UP Team Challenge
Division will be held on one of Wisconsin¹s premier walleye fisheries, the
sprawling Lake Winnebago chain, Sunday, June 1st, 2003.
The Pioneer Inn, the premier lodging spot on Lake Winnebago located at the
mouth of the Fox River in Oshkosh, will be the sight for the take off and
weigh in.
The Pioneer Inn is also the sight of the 2003 World Walleye Association
National Championship.
This is one of the best times of year to fish Lake Winnebago and it¹s
connected upper lakes, as fish are currently active throughout the system.
Walleyes are on the move in the system, returning to Winnebago from spawning
up the Wolf River. Many of these post spawn fish have already made their way
back to the main lake, joining the fish that never leave. But some of these
fish have stayed in the three upper lakes, Poygan, Winneconnie and Butte De
Morts, along with the always-present resident fish, as they encounter an
abundant food supply.
The river portions of the chain is also a spot that shouldn¹t be overlooked
as it can hold a good supply of resident fish and walleyes moving out to
Winnebago.
These abundant fish holding locations offer anglers the chance to use a
variety of techniques in their pursuit of the winning weight and with the
sheer size of the system, it is possible for competitors to fish all day and
never encounter another team in the tournament.
Entry is limited to 100 teams and since this has been one of the most
popular tournaments in the WI/UP division, it is recommended to sign up as
soon as possible.
The WWA is a friendly, fun, and affordable way to participate in the
competitive world of walleye fishing. Extensive media coverage of tournament
results can be found on numerous websites along with coverage in the Badger
Sportsman Magazine, the official publication of the WWA. Subscriptions to
the Badger Sportsmen are included when anglers become members of the WWA.
The WWA also offers a National Championship at the end of the year for
qualifying teams. For 2003, the WWA National Championship will be held on
Lake Winnebago, Wi. September 18th, 19th, & 20th. The winning team at the
National Championship will win a first place prize of $20,000!
These are just some of the reasons anglers choose to fish the WWA, a
tournament circuit for fisherman, run by fisherman.
The World Walleye Association is sponsored by Patriot Power Boats ³Overbuilt
for Life.
