Location: Appleton | Lake Winnebago will not be open to fishing for the April 30 tournament. It will be open for the August 27th tournament. All waters below the Railroad bridge or down river and Lake Winnebago will be closed to fishing for the first tournament.
Thanks

Location: Menasha, WI | Just curious...
Why are you hosting it at Rainbow if anglers can't fish Bago? Wouldn't a more centrally located launch be better? |

Location: Manitowoc, WI | I'm sure the pavilion, the number of launches, and location close to Butte des Mortes are reasons. The pavilion alone would make it a great choice. |

Location: Combined Locks, WI | Along with what Jerry said, it is a bit of a tradition, sort of like the MWC's first event in Spring Valley every year. |

Your both right, Hopefully we will not need the shelter and lots of good ramps, but its nice if we need a shelter and it is the traditional MWS first stop.
Thanks
