On Saturday, March 20th, 2010, professional angler Johnnie Candle will present an all new Walleye University.

 

Johnnie is coming off of a great season that highlights a 15 year career as a professional angler. Last season he placed 4th overall in the MWC Western Division and qualified for the World Walleye Championship as well as the National Team Championship. He is excited to share many of the techniques that helped him get there.

 

This 8-hour class deals with fine points of catching walleye in rivers, reservoirs and natural lakes all before lunch. After a lunch break, local walleye fishing opportunities and targeting trophy walleye will be discussed. The day will end with talk of what’s new and exciting in walleye catching tackle. There will be plenty of time for specific questions as well.

 

“Sharing knowledge is a big part of professional angling,” says Candle, “and it's very rewarding. I have travelled nearly coast to coast to fish for walleye, and the techniques that I have learned during those travels are taught in this school.”

 

Walleye University was first introduced in Bismarck, ND during the spring of 2000. It was such a big hit that it was decided to take the show on the road. Since Bismarck, the seminar has been presented to hundreds of walleye anglers in eight different states. Stops this year include: Sioux Falls, SD, Omaha, NE, Billings, MT, Rapid City, SD, Mankato, MN, and Fargo, ND.

 

This year, as part of Walleye University, special guest Jason Durham will be sharing his knowledge of walleye fishing in Minnesota. Jason has been guiding in the Park Rapids area for 18 years. His fishing advice has appeared in In-Fisherman, Field and Stream, and Outdoor Life magazines.

 

“There is no other place to learn this much about walleye fishing in one day,” Candle says, “and the tips and tricks learned at the Walleye University will make you a better fisherman. You will learn the tactics to deal with those tough days on the water and make every fishing trip more successful.”

 

Walleye University will be held at Scheels, in St. Cloud, MN on Saturday, March 20th, 2010. It begins at 8:30 am and runs until 5:00 pm. Every person in attendance will receive a package that includes a printed version of Walleye University and a $10 gift card from Scheels. Please pre-register as seating is limited. The cost of the school is $50. Register at Scheels Customer Service in St. Cloud or by calling 320.252.9494.
