Harlan Anglers Walleye Club End of Year Tournament

Harlan County Lake

Alma Nebraska  

The Harlan Anglers Walleye club held a one day Walleye tournament on Sunday September 25, 2011 on the Harlan County Lake. The tournament was two people teams per boat for those fishing the end of year tournament. Fishing was extremely tough as the fish hadn’t moved to the drop offs yet and there was a huge hatch of shad during the summer. Fish were gorging themselves on the shad and extremely hard to catch.

There were fourteen teams in the tournament this year

The tournament brought in teams from Nebraska & Kansas.

Prizes were awarded by the total weight and also big fish of the tournament. Seven teams weighed walleye for the one day tournament. Big fish of the tournament was caught by the team of Al Hohfeld & Greg Mangels weighing 3.22lbs. Continue reading
