INDIANA – Anglers are invited to join the Midwest Walleye Challenge, a virtual fishing tournament from April 1 to June 29.
This tournament allows anglers to win prizes while contributing to fisheries’ management by providing DNR fisheries biologists with valuable data on the state’s walleye, sauger, and saugeye populations.
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.
Participants will use the free mobile app MyCatch to submit photos of their catch on a measuring device so length and species can be determined. Once the image is reviewed and the catch is confirmed, it will appear on a live leaderboard so anglers can see their current ranking in the tournament.
