Anglers hoping to lure in big cash prizes at Walleye Cup
One catch could yield $28,000 worth of prize money for a lucky angler on Tobin Lake.
The 36th annual Saskatchewan Premier’s Walleye Cup is underway. The event was originally a joint tournament with the Governor’s Cup in North Dakota that started in 1988.
Marketing and Finance Director for the Walleye Cup, Sherry Hidlebaugh said the event has taken place every year since, with the exception of 2020 due to COVID.
“We have met so many fishermen from across North America. It’s been an absolutely amazing tournament for our community, but also a great way to promote Tobin Lake and the fishermen work hard to maintain the fishery and to teach and practice catch and release and the best way to treat our fish in the river section of Tobin Lake,” said Hidlebaugh.
