LAST UPDATE 04/26/01 In Fisherman Professional Walleye Trail PowerBait / 
Midwest Pro-Am.
Chamberlain South Dakota April 25-27 2001 Walleyes Thrill PWT Contestants Chamberlain, South Dakota....Fishing under "summer" skies, the In-Fisherman Professional Walleye Trail (PWT) anglers enjoyed South Dakota weather today. The boats departed this morning to a brilliant sunrise, and the day just got better, with light breezes and 80-degree temperatures. For some anglers, the fishing was better; others scratched
released alive once again. Prevailing patterns included jigging the shallows, running bottom bouncers with single hooks and minnows and some crankbait trolling. Many male walleyes were hanging shallow, some tight against the rocks in a foot of water. The Missouri River was rising, and has come up about a foot during the past two days, primarily due to snow melt. Over the weekend a foot of snow covered the area, and in four days, the landscape switched from winter to summer. Bass Pro Shops big fish awards went to pro Mark Broderick, East Bethel, MN, with a 5.13 pound walleye. The top spot pays $2,000 daily. In second was amateur Paul Wright, West Point, IN with a 4.98-pounder. He won $1,200. Third and $1,025 went to Parsons who had a 4.96-pounder, while a 4 1/2 pound walleye was worth $950 for amateur John Flaherty, Thornton, CO. The third and final day weigh-in takes place Friday at Cedar Shore Resort on the shores of the Missouri in Chamberlain at 3 p.m. The festivities conclude with distribution of a quarter million dollars. Pros share their tactics and "hotspots" following the weigh-in, and the public is invited to the free spectacle. The PWT is part of PRIMEDIA, Inc., America's leading producer of targeted media headquartered in New York City. PWT sponsors include:
Cedar Shore Resort, 605-734-6376 and the Chamberlain/Oacoma Chamber,
