    Has anyone heard that the FLW is not going to have the league next year. With the state of the economy I know some of the divisions did not have a good turn out. I was told they were possibly thinking of lowering the entry fees in the tour to try and fill those events and concentrate on that only. I would miss the league I got a chance to meet some great new friends through the format they had. I never had a co-angler I didn’t enjoy fishing with. Glenn

    Lots of rumors swirling but there’s nothing official yet.

    I’m planning on other circuits for 2010.

    I’m just speculating at this time, like everyone else, but I would bet there will not be a league 2010.

    I heard the same thing that Glenn D heard and that is too bad, but also a reality.

    Looks pretty official to me. Excerp from the FLW web site article: “Pro entry fees will be $750 per tournament and co-angler entry-fees will be $250. Anglers will compete for top awards of $25,000 in the pro division and $5,000 in the co-angler division, with awards of $1,000 and $400, respectively, extending through 50th place. Anglers that participated in the FLW Walleye League, which will be discontinued, are encouraged to participate in the FLW Walleye Tour.”

    Dropping down to 750 should fill the field, could see many local guys throwing their hat in the ring at that price-which would raise participation rates.

    Get your MTT and Full Throttle entries in early or you may not have a place to play. The MWC might get some anglers back too.
