(Arnolds Park)-Registration for Walleye Weekend is now open. KUOO’s Becky Thoreson has details:
The Iowa Great Lakes Chamber has announced that registration is underway for the 41st Annual Walleye Weekend to be held May 6-7.
Director of Membership and Events, Kylie Zankowski explains. “Registration is now open online and will be open soon in person. You’ll also want to check your mailboxes if you live outside of Dickinson County as registration forms will be sent out to past participants in the coming weeks. You can head over to our website and get registered and get all the rules and information. There is registration for adults, 16 and older and then, for youth 15 and under, and of course, we want to encourage everyone to sign up for the extended contest, as well.”
She adds that big prize money is on the line. “This year, we’re so excited for a $41,000 Grand Prize if you catch one of those ten tagged walleye over Walleye Weekend, and then, of course, with the extended contest, if you’re registered and you catch any of the remaining tagged walleye until August 31st, you get a portion of those registrations. “
She notes that they’re bringing back the Biggest Walleye Tournament this year. “This has been a part of Walleye Weekend in the past, but we’ve gone without it for a few years and are excited to bring it back. So, this is an additional tournament with an additional payout prize amount. That will be run entirely through an app called Fish Donkey.”
