Next stop on the NOWT is Father’s Day weekend on the Magpie River.  This is another well run tournament put on by the organizers from Dubreuilville.  Great hospitality and people make this event a great weekend to spend Father’s Day on the Magpie River.  With water levels up this year, the big walleye will be a little more spread out and possibly harder to catch.  Last year there was over 40 walleye caught that weighed over 5 lbs.  Many great new prizes this year include top Team with an angler 16 and under.   Also most improved team will receive a cruise valued at $1500.00.  Don’t forget the tagged walleye for $10,000 is also up for grabs.  Here is the prize payout for 2011:

  • 1st place         $5000
  • 2nd place        $2500
  • 3rd place        $1400
  • 4th place        $950
  • 5th place        $600
  • 6th place        $400
  • 7th place       $260
  • 8th place       $210
  • 9th place       $180
  • 10th place     $180
