Fishing Tournaments on Lake of the Woods, Rainy River, Rainy Lake and other lakes in Northwestern Ontario Canada & Minnesota USA

Fishing Tournaments are a big draw on Lake of the Woods, on the Rainy River, and throughout NorthWestern Ontario because of the many species of freshwater fish found here.

Although most of the tournaments are either Walleye Fishing Tournaments or Bass Fishing Tournaments, the March Fishing Tournament in Baudette, MN is a Northern Pike Fishing Tournament. There are many other fresh water fish that are available for catching: Muskie (Muskelunge, Musky), Perch, Sturgeon, Black Crappie, Burbot, Tulibee, Trout etc.

Fishing Tournaments are very popular, have great prizes, plus give the fishermen alot of boasting rights when it comes to "the biggest Catch of the Day", "the biggest Catch of the Tournament", "Trophy Fishing" and "Record Size Fish" commendable for Ontario Angler Awards.

Although tournament fishing is a sport, the tournaments are usually "catch and release" and strictly adhere to the local Provincial and State Fishing Regulations to respect and preserve our natural resourses in the areas fished.
