Each summer, anglers from near and far gather on the waters of Hearst, Ontario to test their skills, share their passion, and chase the thrill of reeling in the region’s prized walleye. More than just a fishing tournament, the HWC is a celebration of community, sportsmanship, and the great outdoors.

​

With friendly competition, impressive prizes, and the unmatched beauty of our local lakes (Hanlan Lake, Wolverine Lake, Pivabiska Lake), this event promises excitement both on and off the water. Whether you’re a seasoned competitor or simply here to enjoy the atmosphere, the HWC is your chance to be part of a Northern tradition where every cast could be the winning one.

Anglers are welcome to take the challenge in teams of two.
