2022 Montana Walleye Circuit Wrap Up and Thank You to Our Sponsors

The 2022 Montana Walleye Circuit is now history and it was a great year. Low water conditions created some early uncertainty, and the price of fuel certainly had an impact on the number of participants we saw this year. We look forward to next year with optimism and continue to pursue new sponsor opportunities for the Montana Walleye Circuit for 2023. Overall, the majority of the sponsorship support goes back into each of the 4 individual circuit tournaments which benefits the greatest number of participants and the greatest exposure and promotion for the sponsors.

We had 540 individuals’ fish in at least one if not more of the circuit events this past year! The break down on those was 207 Adult Teams, 32 Mixed Couples, and 28 Adult/Child combined both divisions. We are hoping to increase participation in both the Mixed Couples and Adult/Child divisions by targeting increased sponsors for those divisions.

Our FACEBOOK following continues to grow and gives both anglers and sponsors a way to check in regularly with the Montana Walleye Circuit.

The Circuit held 4 events in 2022:
Crooked Creek, May 14/15
Fresno Tournament, June 11/12
Canyon Ferry Walleye Festival, June 25/26
Tiber Tournament, July 16,17

We will have a circuit meeting sometime this fall to set the schedule for the 2023 season at that time.

We are also working with the Fort Peck Series and will be applying for the Montana Walleye Circuit/Fort Peck Series Challenge somewhere?! Pending approval, it will be held after the 2023 tournaments conclude and will feature 15 of the top finishing teams from each of the tournament circuits! This is going to add a new and exciting opportunity. The Montana Walleye Circuit will do the application and will host the 2023 year. Rules and scoring format will be determined by the host. In 2024, the host duties will go to the Fort Peck Series. We hope that we can put together a quality event for everyone. Together, we are working on a location! Stay tuned!

The 2022 Circuit Awards for Angler of the Year, Team of the Year, Top Lund, Top Ranger, Top Adult/Child Teams-both divisions, Top Mixed Couple Teams, etc. will be presented at the Walleyes Unlimited State meeting this coming spring.
