Sault set to return to Northern Ontario Walleye Trail after a decade

For the first time since 2013, Sault Ste. Marie and the St. Marys River system will be rejoining the circuit on the popular Northern Ontario Walleye Trail next year.

“The Sault’s a great market,” he says. “A lot has changed on the NOWT since the tournament was run here. We’re a lot bigger and a lot more successful now. The timing is perfect to come back to the Sault, and there’s a lot more avid anglers too.” Running from Sept. 6-7 next year, the St. Marys River Walleye Cup will be the site of the NOWT finale for the 2024 circuit.

Mayor Matthew Shoemaker welcomes the NOWT: “Located at the heart of the Great Lakes, Sault Ste. Marie has ready access to world class fishing in locations featuring spectacular natural beauty, and the Northern Ontario Walleye Trail is a great option to showcase all our area has to offer.” The Angler of the Year takes home a Raxfin sponsored ATV and a custom-made NOWT Ring. Prize payouts are awarded at every stop, with the St. Marys River Walleye Cup paying the Top 10 teams in its first year. Each season’s Top 25 Anglers are offered the opportunity to compete in the annual NOWT Championship tournament where the winners walk away with a brand new Princecraft Boat & Motor package.
