Chilliwack, British Columbia

First off, we would like to congratulate Ducks Unlimited

Canada on its continued efforts! The tournament will

are glad that you will be sharing in the fun. We have some

great fishing, fun and surprises planned for you. The

competition will be intense and the rewards great. Here is

your chance to win the Grand Prize for the largest White

Sturgeon caught and other amazing prizes. You'll be on the

edge of your seat for the entire tournament.

meeting locations, suggestions of what to bring and other

important tournament information.

Good competition, great camaraderie and a worthy cause

are the cornerstones of the tournament and we are proud

and we couldn't think of a worthier cause.

We can't wait to see you at this year's competition! It is

truly anyone's guess where the winning fish will be caught
