REGISTRATION WILL BE OPENING EARLY SUMMER 2025
NEW THIS YEAR
We hear you! Each year, we listen to feedback in an effort to make our event even more efficient, successful and impactful for everyone. Here are some new features for this years' event:

1. 

We continue to update our website and work hard at making our registration process easy. Be sure to check back often to see ongoing event updates.

2.

Time changes -- There will be an hour in between the end of the fishing derby (3pm) and the banquet doors opening (4pm) again this year. This will allow time to pack up fishing gear & get ready for the evening. The doors will be locked to the banquet center for participants until opening at 4pm. See 'Event Details' page for more info.

3.

The cornhole tournament was a huge success last year. We will continue the tournament and add boards so more teams can participate. The tournament will be held at the banquet and will begin after the raffle drawings & silent auction winner announcement. Sign-up for the cornhole tournament on Saturday when banquet doors open at 4pm.

4.

In order to simplify the fish weighing process and in attempt to make the derby more fair to all participants, we are moving back to one fish class which will include walleye, northern, bass, crappie, sunfish, and perch.

THANK YOU TO OUR
