Black woolly bugger swung or stripped upstream with sinking line. White Zonkers same. Egg patterns where there are groups dropping eggs. February can be tough water color conditions.

Good news update. Econ Officer representatives have exposed the problems with the proposal and enough time has gone by that the proposal has timed-out. We will continue to see Econ officers protecting our resources.

Well said Kevin. I think there would have been a lot less negative feedback if you had made this the first post to help explain the changes. As far as Cabela’s and Bass Pro, I believe there are walleye and redfish events hosted by them so it is not out of the realm. I see photos of Johnny Morris posing with giant Alaskan Kings so he knows the species. Send him an invite on your boat.

I think when evaluating any tournament teams look at two items (not gimmicks), entrance fees and payouts. Despite having stores (skin in the game) in Toronto, St Catherines, Buffalo and Auburn, I have not seen Bass Pro/Cabela’s presence in these events. I think the answer would be partnering with BPS and see if the event could be televised.

Random draw cooler check assignments before leaving dock.

I am not sure anyone thought about the additional clean up costs at weigh-in by including Lake Trout.
