Tournament Details
As per Minnesota state law, if you plan on trailering your boat and transporting bait, you must have another bait container with tap water to put your bait into when you leave the lake.
NOTE: If you think your boat or trailer should be cleaned to eliminate any possibility of introducing zebra mussels or other invasive species into Leech Lake, the precise location of the MN DNR decontamination/cleaning unit for Leech lake can be determined for the week prior the tournament through the dates of the tournament by calling Bruce Anspach at 218-699-7295.

Leech Lake Fishing Task Force
Through countless hours of effort by the Leech Lake Fishing Task Force, in conjunction with the Leech Lake Band and the Minnesota DNR, they are realizing their goal of bringing back a strong and sustainable walleye fishery on the lake. It began in 2005 with a cormorant control plan and an aggressive stocking program. By 2010, over 100 million walleye fry had been introduced into Leech Lake. The result of this effort has been a return to quality walleye fishing that is as good as it has ever been, with Leech Lake once again being one of the hottest walleye lakes in Minnesota. The Leech Lake Walleye Tournament will showcase this walleye fishery recovery.
