I live in Arlington Heights. I have fished Pewaukee and Oconomowoc this year. Will be fishing Okauchee Oct. 22nd a great tourney check this out....
We are happy to announce the second annual Klye "Kly" Stefanski Benefit
Tournament which will be held on October 22nd on Lake Oukachee in
Southern
Wisconsin. Last year's efforts raised more than $7000, and this money,
combined with what we raise this year, will all put back into the lake
through fish stocking.
For those of you unfamiliar with last year's tournament, last year, a
good
friend, and great musky fisherman, Kyle Stefanski,
passed away suddenly in an automobile accident. He was just about to
graduate from the University of Iowa, and was a day away from his 23rd
birthday. He was an avid musky fisherman, great student and an
extremely
kind person as well. By the responses on the MuskieFirst Web site last
year,
it was evident that he touched many people.
In honor of his name, last year we had a silent auction in addition to
the
tournament on Okauchee Lake in Southern Wisconsin. The money from those
two
events, as well as this year's tournament, are going toward the
stocking of
Okauchee Lake, which was one of Kyle's favorite lakes to pursue his
fish.
Last year's event was so successful, we decided to do it again, but
this
time with a twist: a 2 Bait Challenge.
The way this works, is that every person participating in the
tournament
will be given 2 musky baits, and only 2, that they can used for that
day.
All baits are being donated by our very generous sponsors, which to
date
include Sportsman's Warehouse, Bradrock Lures, Snowcrest Lures, S&M
Lures,
MRG Custom Lures, and Power Probe Lures. Prizes will be awarded for
places
1st through 3rd, entry fees are $50/entrant, and all lures used during
the
tourney will be auctioned or raffled off after the event.
More details are to come, but for early entry, or to help with the
event
please contact me, Andrew Golden at agolden@muskiefirst.com or via
phone at
847/989-9271.
We hope to see you all for the tourney (October 22nd), the pre-tourney
gathering the night before, and for the buffet breakfast the morning
of.
