The Slave Lake & District Chamber of Commerce hosts its Alberta Centennial Celebration on July 1st and 2nd. Slave Lake is located 2.5 hours north of Edmonton, Alberta.
Lesser Slave Lake is 70 miles long and offers an incredible Walleye fishery. This big water lake can see some significant wave action, so the tournament boundary is about 17 miles from the launch and about 10 miles wide. Presently walleye are plentiful and are easily caught. The Anglers Cup regulations state a 51 cm fish is the minimum length that can be brought into the weigh in. A four fish per day limit meets tournament regulations and total weight of 8 fish over the two days puts the Top 30 teams into the money.
Angler Registration is June 30, 2005 at 3:30 pm at the Curling Rink. Anglers and volunteers can enjoy a feast of “Beef on a bun” served Slave Lake style. After which comes the mandatory Rules Meeting.
