2011 Leech Lake Walleye Tournaments

As the new year approaches I thought I would list a couple of the major walleye tournaments that will be held at Leech Lake in 2011. There are many smaller tournaments held at Leech Lake each year by local fishing clubs, but these are the two big tournaments that Leech will host this year.

I've fished in three professional walleye tournaments as a co-angler in the now defunct Professional Walleye Trail, but never one on Leech Lake. My first tournament was on Northern Minnesota's Cass Lake where I had the chance to fish in the same boat as 2004 PWT champion Scott Glorvigan. My second PWT tournament was on the Bays de Noc in Northern Michigan. And my third PWT tournament was on the Fox Lake chain of lakes in Illinois, where I finished 24th and won $700.

I have no plans to fish in any of the organized walleye tournaments on Leech Lake, but I do plan on doing a lot of walleye fishing on Leech in 2011.
