First of three salmon, trout contests July 7

It’s that time of year and Algoma IS the salmon and trout capital of the world!

The first of three county trout and/or salmon fishing contests will be held next weekend at Algoma, with a “1-2-3 … Go Fish!” Great Lakes Classic team tournament.

Meant to be a fun format at a reasonable price, the “Classic” offers three divisions for solo, two-person and three-person teams at $25 per angler, plus a $10 team fee to get in on the “King of Kings” cash prize for the largest chinook.

A captain’s meeting will be held at 7 p.m. July 6 at Algoma Marina. Fees can be paid then, but there will be a $5 per angler late fee for entries not received by July 5.

This is a “110 percent payback” event with all teams receiving some fishing tackle and a copy of the latest Great Lakes Angler magazine while the top teams will earn cash, gas cards and fishing tackle.

Interested anglers can get a tournament entry and rules via e-mail by writing wildtimes@wizunwired.net, or calling (920) 883-9792.

Spectacular salmon and trout fishing has continued this week. Though there have been occasional pier and nearshore catches made, the top area has been two to five miles off shore.” via First of three salmon, trout contests July 7 | Green Bay Press Gazette | greenbaypressgazette.com.
