IDNR Report
The Midwest Walleye Challenge is back! If you’re interested in a little friendly competition with other Midwest anglers; enjoy fishing for walleye, sauger and saugeye; and want to help DNR’s fisheries biologists; this tournament is for you.
The challenge runs from April 1 through June 29 and offers a great opportunity for anglers to win prizes in a variety of categories. These include Most Waterbodies Fished, Most Fish Caught, Longest Fish, and even a Tough Luck category for those who log a trip but get skunked.
There is a $25 entry fee to participate in the 2025 tournament. Once you’ve entered, use the free mobile app, MyCatch, to upload photos, fishing trips, and fish measurements. All data collected from participating anglers help DNR fish biologists better understand the walleye, sauger, and saugeye populations in Indiana’s waters, which leads to more informed management practices, which leads to better fisheries for Hoosier anglers statewide.
