Northeast Wyoming Walleye Association

NEWWA Club Members,

Here is our tournament schedule for 2010.

I have the approval for the dates from Wyoming Game and Fish but I have not got any info back from Wyoming State Parks. I don’t see our schedule changing but if it does I will let you know right away.

We are going to have a lot going on this year with some big changes!! I am excited and looking forward to the 2010 schedule with the new changes along with some new challenges!

May 8^th and 9^th  is the Keyhole Spring Classic, Three in One Tournament.

We are going to have two Archery Carp Roundup Tournaments this year.

The first one is going to be on June 19^th and the other on July 24^th.

Now for the big news!

This year for the NEWWA Fall Club Tournament we are going to have another three in one two day tournament. Wyoming Game and Fish gave us the approval to hold the first ever Walleye Tournament on Lake de Smet in Buffalo Wyoming. The Second day of the tournament is going to be held at Keyhole with payouts for the first day, the second day and overall for both lakes.

September 18^th Lake de Smet

September 19^th Keyhole Reservoir

NEWWA Spring Classic and our Fall Club Tournament are still going to be Cabela’s qualifier tournaments for the National Team Championship and for the AIM Pro Walleye Series Championship.

For 2010 the Camplex is going to hold the first ever sport show in the new Wyoming Center April 16^th, 17^th and 18^th. The Northeast Wyoming Walleye Association is going to have a booth at this years first show to help promote our Club along with our Walleye and Carp Archery Tournaments. Members that are interested in helping out with the booth please let me know. Send me your ice fishing pictures.

Have a Happy New Year!!

Congratulations to Chris and Scott in winning the Keyhole fall tournament.

Scott and Chris were one of two teams that brought two walleyes to the scales for a total weight of 11.96 pounds. Chris said that slow dragging crawlers was the trick for them. Scott and Chris were both really excited about their win and their guaranteed spot for Cabela's National Team Championship to be held at Lake Winnebago in Oshkosh WI next year June 5th and 6th 2010.

We had beautiful weather this year but a very tuff bite. Out of twenty seven teams only nine teams caught a fish and two teams with two fish.  

Second place went to Harley and Ken Gabert weighing in at 10.82 pounds. Harley and Ken also won the big fish pot with their nice 30 inch walleye.

Third place went to Rick Magnuson and Fred Tshetter with 8.58 pounds.
