2026 RED LAKE FALL CLASSIC — TEAM UPDATE!
As we approach the 2026 Red Lake Fall Classic Catch & Release Walleye Tournament, we have a few important updates for our teams!
First of all, WELCOME TO RED LAKE! We are so excited to welcome everyone back for another Fall Classic. Our committee has been working all year to make the 2026 tournament one for the ages!
$30,000 FIRST-PLACE CASH PRIZE!
This year, we are incredibly proud to offer a $30,000 CASH PAYOUT to our first-place team — UP A WHOPPING $5,000! This makes it our biggest first-place cash prize yet and, to our knowledge, the largest cash payout in a walleye tournament in Northwestern Ontario!
DRIVE-BY RULES NIGHT — FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 4
We encourage all teams to be off the water by 3:30 PM on Friday, September 4 so you have plenty of time to get ready for our Drive-By Rules Night.
5:00 PM – 6:00 PM
Location to be determined
Teams, please watch your email during tournament week for the confirmed location and any last-minute updates.
Before Rules Night, please check our Facebook page or the “Team List” drop-down on our website for your team number. Knowing your number ahead of time will help us keep the drive-by moving efficiently and get everyone home and stringing lines as quickly as possible!
BREAKFAST ON THE LAKE IS BACK!
The Red Lake Firefighters Association has once again teamed up with Antonio’s Restaurant to bring you Breakfast on the Lake on both Saturday and Sunday mornings!
Take advantage of this awesome service. It’s convenient, it supports a great organization, and most importantly, it makes sure your belly is full before a long day on the water!

WE WANT YOUR TOURNAMENT PHOTOS!
This year, we’ve added a QR Code that will allow teams to upload their tournament action shots to a shared folder!
We’d love to see what you’ve been up to on the water, and we are also looking for some fresh photos to use on our website, social media pages and in future Sponsor Books.
Simply scan the QR Code with your phone and, as long as you have a Google account, you’ll be able to share your photos with us.
And if you see some of our boat checkers out taking pictures, make sure you give them a wave!
KEEP CHECKING FOR UPDATES!
Please continue checking our Facebook page and website as tournament weekend approaches. Most importantly, check your email during tournament week for any last-minute changes or important information.
We’ve been working hard behind the scenes, and we can’t wait to see everyone back in Red Lake!
Good luck to all of our 2026 teams!
$30,000 is waiting for somebody… who’s taking it home?!
See you at the 2026 Red Lake Fall Classic!
