Lake Champlain International, Inc. Brings Season-Long Competitive Fishing to
Local Anglers
and Economic Boost to Champlain Region
5 full months of LCI fishing derby action on Champlain returns with the 11th
annual LCI All-Season Tournament
The 11th Annual LCI All-Season Fishing Tournament returns in 2004 after
another successful season of big fish and happy, dedicated Lake Champlain
anglers.
The "All Season" features 7 species categories which include the most
sought-after fish this great lake offers: steelhead trout, landlocked
Atlantic salmon, brown trout, lake trout, smallmouth and largemouth bass,
northern pike, catfish, and walleye. Monthly cash and merchandise prizes are
awarded to the angler who amasses the most derby prize points in both the
Warm and Coldwater Divisions. Each species category is given a point scale
and total derby prize points are based on the weight of the fish multiplied
by the appropriate species points for that fish. A cash-prize pool based on
the number of entries in the tournament is distributed to the 10 monthly
winners based on their overall derby points at the end of the All-Season
Tournament. Any registered angler can enter more than one fish so the
possibilities for major cash and prize winnings are endless!
The LCI All Season Tournament offers a Full Season pass and a Warm Weather
pass. The dates are as follows: Full Season pass runs from May 1, 2004 to
September 30, 2004 and the Warm Weather pass covers from June 12, 2004 to
the end of the tournament on September 30, 2004.
With 11 participating All-Season weigh stations all over the Lake Champlain
region, it is simple to weigh in your catch either in Vermont or New York.
Combined with a low entry fee, a reciprocal license, and the monthly and
overall cash and prizes, Champlain anglers can't miss signing up for the LCI
All-Season Tournament.
Anglers clever enough to register for both the All Season Tournament and the
23rd Annual Father's Day Derby this year could be eligible to amass derby
prize points in both tournaments with any big fish caught between June 19th
and the 21st! This option allows for huge returns on a small investment.
Consider that anglers take home checks as large as $8,000 from the Father's
Day Derby and $1,000 from the All-Season Tournament. And by participating in
the derbies, anglers are making an investment in the future of Lake
Champlain as well. All revenues from the LCI Fishing Derbies stay right
here, promoting fishing, clean water, healthy fisheries and healthy local
economies.
The LCI Derbies are sponsored in part by Yamaha Outboards, Sylvan Boats,
Vermont Department of Tourism and Marketing and WOKO 98.9 FM.
For more information visit www.lciderby.com or call 802.879.3466 24 hours a
day, 7 days a week.
Lake Champlain anglers contribute $205 million annually to the local
economy.
Lake Champlain International, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) organization leading the
effort to conserve, restore and revitalize the Lake Champlain watershed and
its communities providing great fishing opportunities, family events,
economic opportunities for local communities and water quality awareness.
Lake Champlain International, Inc. quality fishing events provide
opportunities to fish, stimulate local economies, raise funds to support our
mission, and educate participants on the importance of ethical angling.
Lake Champlain International, Inc is dedicated to catch and release angling
and improving the quality of the lake's fish population.
