The entry fee this year will be $50.00.  PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL WALK-IN ENTRY FEES AT THE TOURNAMENT HEADQUARTERS WILL BE $55.00 CASH.  We would like as many entrants as possible to pre-register before August 1.  This makes it easier for the tournament committee to have the proper number of hats and entrant bags available for all entrants.  To be eligible for the Early Bird Drawing, you must enter before May 15, 2007.  Our Early Bird Prize is two nights lodging donated by the Days Inn of Eagle River (subject to availability).  You will receive a confirmation card in the mail.  Please keep your confirmation card to present at tournament registration.

Please note on your registration form the Insurance Waiver.  This MUST be signed and returned with your registration form and payment.  Each entrant must complete and sign their own registration form.  We're looking forward to seeing you in August.  

Help Fight Hunger: Get a chance to win a Shimano Reel by donating a non-perishable food item.  For each food item you donate, you will receive one chance in the Fight Hunger drawing.  All food donations will be donated to the Vilas County Food Pantry.  

Guardian and Youth Trophy: A registered adult and child (6-15 years of age) can enter to win this category by catching the most fish in inches.  The winners of this category will receive a trophy for their efforts. This category is just like the Husband/Wife category.

It's going to be a GREAT tournament!  Remember a portion of proceeds always goes for fish stocking and habitat improvement!  If you have any questions regarding the tournament, please call the Eagle River Chamber of Commerce & Visitors Center at 1-800-359-6315.
