  •  PWT Pros Find Great Walleye Fishing in Bull Shoals, Arkansas
        
        Bull Shoals, Arkansas.....Walleyes took center-stage in Arkansas today.
    The In-Fisherman Professional Walleye Trail anglers, fishing under sunny
    skies, discovered golden walleyes throughout massive Bull Shoals Reservoir.
    Leading the Mercury/Realtree Pro-Am is second-year pro Tim Flynn, Big Sky,
    Montana.  He weighed a tournament boat-limit of five fish for 23.10 pounds,
    including the big fish of 9.91 pounds.

        Fishing with Flynn was amateur George Morrison, Mankato, Minn.   This
    was his first PWT tournament.  The top amateur wins a 17-foot Lund boat
    rigged with a Mercury outboard (valued at $17,000).  The winning pro will
    earn $64,500.  The top 40 pros and top 40 amateurs receive nearly $300,000
    in cash and merchandise prizes.

        Flynn was trolling crankbaits, primarily Shad Raps for fish at specified
    depths along steep breaks early in the day.  After 9 a.m., he trolled for
    suspended walleyes over deep water.  Most anglers found success with
    nightcrawlers and spinners or plain nightcrawlers behind bottom bouncers.

        They fished from the Bull Shoals Dam upstream, with most boats working
    within 45 miles of Bull Shoals Boat Dock, tournament headquarters.  Many
    local walleye fans attended the 3 p.m. weigh-in ceremonies.  Days two and
    three will take place Thursday and Friday, June 24 and 25.  On Friday, the
    top 10 pro anglers will be interviewed for their secrets spots and tactics
    on stage.  More than one-third of the amateur partners are from Arkansas and
    Missouri.  They entered to learn the ³tricks of the trade.²

        Amateur Roger Hackman, Harrison, Ark., said, ³This is the first time I
    ever fished for walleyes, and I can¹t believe what I¹ve learned.  I took
    notes, and am looking forward to the rest of the tournament.²  He is in 8th
    place after fishing with pro Gerrick McComsey, Pierre, SD.  They weighed
    16.99 pounds.

        Second place pro Mike Gofron, Antioch, Illinois, with a PWT record 27
    top-10 place finishes, holds second place.  Last year¹s Angler of the Year
    Bill Ortiz, Dodgeville, Wis., is in third place.  Five-time PWT winner Ron
    Seelhoff, Burlington, Col., is in fourth, with Myron Sylte, Williston, ND in
    fifth.

        A common sentiment echoed by dozens of PWT pros and amateurs on stage
    was, ³This is a great spot to fish, a great area to live, and an even better
    place to catch walleyes.²  As a comparison, 39 limits came to the scale on
    day one, which was better than a Wisconsin PWT tournament earlier this
    season, and nearly equaled that on Cass Lake, a Minnesota walleye factory
    last month.  
     

        The PWT is an integral element of the In-Fisherman Communications
    Network headquartered in Brainerd, Minnesota, and PRIMEDIA, America's
