Walleye fever is in the air now that the roof of the big tent has been raised!

Many thanks are extended to the dozens of volunteers who came out to help assemble and raise the roof on the tournament tent. Its full steam ahead and the RRWT committee and volunteers will be working hard over the next week and a half to add all the finishing touches to the venue. See you all there!

Starting 2009 there will no longer be an early bird draw. all teams must now have their full payment received by RRWT by Mar 31/09 to be entered into the 2009 tournament. in place of the early bird draw RRWT is now having a draw for 2010 entry fee from the paid anglers.

Twice as nice! Jason and Oliver Gibbins win their second RRWT!

After day 1 of the 10th annual Rainy River Walleye Tournament (RRWT) it looked as though Team 16 were poised to win it all, but what a difference a day can make! Team 16, John Blight and Sean Gaudry quit fishing at 11:15 a.m. on day 1 having 16.16 lbs. of walleye in their live well. The pair said that the main reason they quit was that the two big fish they had in the well actually flipped and flopped around causing the live well to stop working.
