Traditionally the final Walleye Tournament of the summer, this year’s Red Lake Fall Classic has been cancelled.
CKDR received official notification at 8 pm Monday evening.
This is the official statement from the Fall Classic Committee:
The Red Lake Fall Classic Committee has made a very tough decision to cancel the 2020 Red Lake Fall Classic Fishing Tournament. Since no one can predict when the COVID -19 pandemic may subside, we feel that it would be very irresponsible of us to hold such a large fishing tournament- especially during these times when we are told to socially distance and Ontario’s Premier encouraging the cancellation of all fishing tournaments within the province this year.
We are extremely grateful to the sponsors and the anglers who have year after year continued to support this event.
All teams currently registered will have their position and entry fees held for next year’s tournament. We have extended our current registration for past anglers to the end of April. Any teams who wish to cancel their entries, and lose their position for next year’s tournament, can contact the committee by emailing contact rlfconline@gmail.com or on Facebook.
Please stay home and stay safe, so we can see you at next year’s event, Labour Day weekend 2021!
Sincerely,
Liz Harder, Chair of the RLFCC
