2020 CANADA-US WALLEYE TOURNAMENT LET’S CELEBRATE 40 YEARS! 2020 marks the 40th Anniversary of the Canada – US Walleye Tournament. This tournament is a live release international fishing competition which brings 120 teams of anglers from across Canada and the US to Bobcaygeon annually. It is the oldest Walleye tournament in Ontario.
