Mr. Walleye Speaks Locally

       Local fishermen and women will soon have the opportunity to hear a seminar given by the most famous and well-known walleye angler in North America , Gary Roach or as he is known, Mr. Walleye. On Saturday, March 1st, 2008 Roach will be speaking on what else but walleyes, when he visits the Wilderness Fish and Game Store in Sauk City , Wisconsin . Roach’s seminar will start at 1:00 PM and I suggest that you come early to insure a good seat.

     Mr. Walleye was born and raised in northern Minnesota and has spent the better part of 50 years guiding, teaching, promoting, and fishing tournaments all over the United States and Canada.

      Roach methods and angling techniques have been highlighted in most major fishing publications including Fishing Facts, In-Fisherman, Outdoor News, Midwest Outdoors, Field and Stream, and Outdoor Life. He also has written countless articles on all kinds of fishing and has appeared on hundreds of television shows.

     He was one of the original Nisswa Guides which was the premier guide group in Minnesota . Gary has also helped design tackle for Northland Tackle and Pradco while also helping Lund Boats design their famous walleye boats. Roach also has designed a rod line named the Mr. Walleye Series which is now on sale in many Midwest markets.

     Gary Roach was inducted into the National Fishing Hall of Fame in 1988 and the Minnesota Fishing Hall of Fame in 2000. He also has been the Professional Walleye Trail’s Angler and Top Gun of the year. Roach has over 20 first place finishes and many 2nd and 3rd finishes in all the major tournament circuits.

     In 1993, Berkley presented him with the “All-Pro Award” for his great work in angling education and promotions. Sixteen years ago, he started Mr. Walleye Specialties, Inc., the largest group of fishing professionals who fish tournaments and teach fishing all across America .

      Gary Roach is a true professional and always has time to talk to people and find time to teach children how to fish. This is a great chance to hear and even talk to one of America ’s greatest anglers. You won’t be disappointed if you attend this seminar by the one and only Mr. Walleye!
