DWF will be holding a combination Steelhead/Walleye Tournament out of Erieau, Ontario on Sat, Aug 1, 2009. In addition to the regular payouts, we have "challenged" the Lake St Clair Walleye Association and there will be a "challenge" trophy to the club that wins First Place. We have simplified the rules to make this a fun event which will include food at the weigh-in Rules are attached.
One of the reasons we are sendinding this out so early is that after June 1st, a passport, passport card, Nexus card, etc will be rquired to re enter the U.S. from Canada. A passport card can be purchased at any post office. It costs $50 and is valid for 10 years,
For those that haven't fished Erieau, it is a great Steelhead and walleye fishery a little over an hour by car and has a gvery nice launch and is a full service facility. If you don't normally get a Canadian license, a one or 3 day license can be purchased right at the launch. You can drive over just for the day or make a weekend out of it,
Right now the exchange rate is in our favor so if you exchange money at the border, it will lower costs quite a bit! Transit slips with showers and bathrooms are available at the Erieau marina http://www.erieaumarina.com/erieaumarina.shtml (at the weigh in site) for $1.75 Canadian
Accomadations:
http://mollyandojs.ca/index.htm Pix on the web site
Rates The rates for the cottages are 98-189/night (canadian) per depending on the type of accommodation needed.
The #10 cottage sleeps 6@189/night in separate beds; this cottage was designed for charters and golf parties.
The 98/night cottages are non smoking now, have only 2 queen beds but are not as spacious as 10 is.
[size=+0]Kitchenettes are 98/night, 2 have 2 queens , 1 has 1 queen plus futon all cottages and kitchenettes have sat tv with Detroit feeds so great weather reports.
Cottages are to be prepaid 7 days in advance, which makes it much easier
checking in.

Interested in how to fish for the Erieau tournament?
Down-riggers needed?
Planer boards used?
What type of baits, wiggle warts, crawler harnesses?
Need to know to see if we are equipped enough to compete.

| Downriggers,Boards and spoons. Pretty much the same as walleye fishing in the lake only deeper. We will be having a workshop this summer on set up and techniques for that fishery.
