Brothers Gary and John Dalzot of Spring Valley, IL topped a field of 204
teams winning $14,280.00 in the first stop of the wildlife Forever-Masters
Walleye Circuit held in Spring Valley, Illinois held March 24 - 25, 2001.
The winning weight was 34.10 lbs. This was the brothers' second first place
win in Spring Valley, having won the tournament last year.

The first day of the tournament was cold and windy with temperatures ranging
from 15 - 27 degrees. Anglers arrived at the weigh-in station covered in ice
from the spray of their boats. When Saturday's weights were all in, the
Dalzots had 15.45 lbs., putting them in a three-way tie for tenth place.

Sunday, the final day of the tournament, arrived with even lower
temperatures and occasional snow. While several teams chose not to launch or
end their fishing early, the Dalzots were undeterred and weighed the
heaviest basket of fish for the tournament at 18.65 lbs.

Surrounded by press and friends, the Dalzots explained their winning
technique, "The Illinois River has always been good jigging water. We used
5/16-ounce orange or white jigs tipped with minnows. Our six pound fireline
helped us feel the bite". The Dalzots caught most of their fish in the clam
beds finding fish in12 - 16 feet of water.

Those unwilling or unable to brave the cold temperatures to watch the
weigh-in, were able to follow along online with a live leader board hosted
by Walleye Central (www.walleyecentral.com <http://www.walleyecentral.com>).

The Illinois Department of Natural Resources was on hand to collect the
tournament fish for use in their sauger and walleye hatcheries. All fish
were then returned to the river.

The next stop of the Wildlife Forever-Masters Walleye Circuit is the
Motorguide tournament in Dubuque Iowa with teams fishing the Mississippi
River.
