First, the tournament fee has been reduced from $600 to $500 per team. And second, we've moved the boundary on the tournament -- all the way out to Lake of the Woods! Catching walleye...for science!We were fortunate at this year's tournament to participate in a study being done by students from the Department of Biology at the University of Waterloo, who are currently in the Rainy River District. The purpose of the study is to assess the health of the food web in the Rainy River, and walleye are one of the key species. Paul Allan and Jason Rostek champs at 2012 Emo Walleye Classic!(Courtesy of the Fort Frances Times) Thanks to a tournament-best, single-day catch of 13.51 pounds on Friday, Emo’s Paul Allan and Jason Rostek of Dryden were never challenged as they captured the 11th-annual Emo Walleye Classic crown Saturday afternoon with a two-day haul of 17.13 pounds In fact, the pair didn’t even need to weigh in the four walleye they had reeled in on Day 2 as no one was able to knock the leaders out of the top spot during Saturday’s final weigh-in at the Emo/La Vallee Arena.
