[size 1]The 14th Annual LCI All-Season Fishing Tournament returns in 2007 after another successful season of big fish and happy, dedicated Lake Champlain anglers.
The "All Season" features seven species categories which include the most sought-after fish this great lake offers: steelhead trout, landlocked Atlantic salmon, brown trout, lake trout, smallmouth and largemouth bass, northern pike, catfish, and walleye. Monthly cash and merchandise prizes are awarded to the anglers who amass the most derby prize points in the Warm, Cool and Cold Water Divisions. Each species category is given a point scale and total derby prize points are based on the weight of the fish multiplied by the appropriate species points for that fish. A cash-prize pool based on the number of entries in the tournament is distributed to the 15 monthly winners based on their overall derby points at the end of the All-Season Tournament. Any registered angler can enter more than one fish so the possibilities for major cash and prize winnings are significant.
The LCI All Season Tournament offers a Full Season pass and a Summer pass. The dates are as follows: Full Season pass runs from May 1, 2007 to September 30, 2007 and the Summer pass covers from June 09, 2007 to the end of the tournament on September 30, 2007.
With 13 participating All-Season weigh stations all over the Lake Champlain region, it is simple for anglers to weigh in their catch either in Vermont or New York. Combined with a low entry fee, a reciprocal license, and the monthly and overall cash and prizes, Champlain anglers eagerly await the LCI All-Season Tournament.
Anglers who register for both the All Season Tournament and the 26th Annual Father's Day Derby presented by Yamaha this year could be eligible to amass derby prize points in both tournaments with any big fish caught between June 16th and the 18th. Anglers could potentially take home checks as large as $50,000 from the Father's Day Derby and $1,000 from the All-Season Tournament. And by participating in the Derbies, anglers are making an investment in the future of our youth and the fishing heritage. The LCI Derbies, for example, are the partners of the Howard Center in the community mentoring effort "Fishing for Friends."
The LCI Derbies are sponsored, in part, by Yamaha Outboards, Starcraft Marine, Friendly's Restaurants, Vermont Department of Tourism and Marketing, Vermont Department of Fish and Wildlife, Jolley Convenience Stores, FOX 44 and WOKO 98.9 FM.
