Event details
What is the Minnesota Tournament Trail?
The Minnesota Tournament Trail (MTT) offers an exciting opportunity for anglers at its annual walleye fishing tournament, taking place on Lake of the Woods in Baudette, Minnesota, on July 10 and 11, 2025. This highly anticipated two-day event opens its doors to both fishing enthusiasts and conservation-minded individuals. The tournament promotes a catch-photo-release format, highlighting sustainable fishing practices that protect our aquatic ecosystems.
How Can You Participate in the Tournament?
As you prepare for the tournament, you’ll find that participants receive an official MTT measuring stick and an SD card during boat inspection. These tools allow you to photograph your catches and release them back into the lake, especially those within the 19.5″–28″ slot limit. This practice not only enhances your fishing experience but also ensures fish populations remain vibrant. The format is designed for two-person teams, with each day operating as a separate tournament featuring unique formats and prize opportunities.
Where is the Event Held and What Prizes are Up for Grabs?
The MTT tournament is co-hosted by River Bend Resort, conveniently located near the Wheeler’s Point public access at the mouth of the Rainy River. As you compete, you’ll have the chance to win a variety of prizes, including the grand prize of a brand-new Ranger Boat. This event is not just about competition; it represents a commitment to well-organized, enjoyable experiences that promote sustainable fishing practices. If you love walleye fishing, marking the MTT on your calendar will ensure you don’t miss out on this must-attend event.
