INDIANA—Join the Midwest Walleye Challenge, a virtual fishing tournament, from March 30 to June 30. This tournament offers anglers an opportunity to win donated and cash prizes while contributing to fisheries management by providing the Indiana DNR fisheries biologists with valuable data on the state’s walleye, sauger, and saugeye populations.
The tournament begins at 6 a.m. ET on March 30 and runs through 6 p.m. on June 30. Participating anglers will be able to submit catches and time on the water for multiple categories, including a “Tough Luck” category for those who log fishing trips but don’t catch anything, a “Most Waterbodies fished” category for those who log trips from multiple rivers, lakes, and streams, and a standard “Longest Fish” category. This is in addition to random prize drawings for everyone who participates.
There are two ways to enter: a free option with non-cash prizes and a paid $25 option with biweekly cash prizes.
Participants can register and view the rules by visiting AnglersAtlas.com/event/769 or using the MyCatch app. During the tournament, participants will use the free MyCatch app to submit photos of their catch on a measuring device and log fishing trips.
