Just note that all MWC anglers for the Marinette-Menominee tournament will have to follow certain guidelines to minimize the risk of spreading VHS inland. Therefore, for this tournament....

a) We won't be moving the fish anywhere except to the stage to weigh-in and then back to recovery and release. All within the same vicinity. No fish can be transported away from the area in lake water.

b) You will need to drain your livewells and all areas that hold lake water at the ramp.

c) You should disinfect your hulls and livewells with a bleach solution. MWC will provide at the ramps. Please use it.

d) You cannot transport live bait after it has been in contact with the lake water.

Thank you for your help in working with the WI & MI DNRs on tournament regulations.
