Quality Fishing Boats since 1946
FAMILIES.
We’re about family, and friends, and fishing buddies, and
everyone who makes up the great community of boating and
enjoys the peace and exhilaration of a day on the water.
FISHING.
Fishing is the genesis of our business and the core of our
passion. Our boats are designed and built by fishing enthusiasts
for fishing enthusiasts
FOREVER.
Many of our customers’ parents and grandparents owned an
Alumacraft. They stick with us because we’ve been a part of
their family and memories for generations. The quality we put
into our boats builds trust that lasts forever.
Proudly supporting women in fishing

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
PLEASE BE SURE TO READ AND UNDERSTAND TOURNAMENT RULES!
The rules can be found on the tournament registration page on the website.
We have many new members fishing this tournament for the first time. The rules
are VERY different from many other tournaments, including our own ice
tournament. The rules will be reviewed in the rules meeting on Friday night, but
the more familiar you are, the better! Let’s all help make the rules meeting go as
quickly and smoothly as possible! We want to end the evening at a decent time
so we can all leave and get our rest for the big day!
TOURNAMENT PACKET
Please have each member of your boat review the information in
your tournament packet! These will be given to the person who
checks in on your boat’s behalf at the Friday night dinner and
rules meeting. Much of what you need to know or may have
questions about is included in this packet, such as a copy of the
rules, payout structures, minimum lengths and limits, etc. It is also
recommended that you bring this packet in your boat!
FISHING AREA
Legal fishing area for the tournament is Woman and Girl Lake, no
other Lakes can be fished. Any boat found outside of these areas
during tournament hours will be immediately disqualified.
DOCKING & RESTROOMS
You are only able to land your boat at Woman Lake Lodge. If you
are seen docked anywhere else on the lake, it will be an
immediate disqualification. Porta-potties are provided at Woman
Lake Lodge outside of the weigh station for your convenience.
BUFFER ZONES
You must maintain a 50ft. space between your anchored boat
and another anchored boat.
INCLEMENT WEATHER
Severe weather in the morning may result in a delay of start
time. Any changes to start time due to weather will be
posted immediately in the members-only Facebook group.
If there is inclement weather throughout the tournament, it
is up to your discretion to take whatever action necessary to
ensure safety. No refunds will be given due to weather.Map of Woman Lake Lodge Resort
