Get Your Rods Ready For Walleye Weekend At Lake Hopatcong

The Knee Deep Fishing Club will be holding its annual Walleye Contest on October 8-9.

Those perch sandwiches well known in the Great Lakes region are hard to come by on this side of the country, but you can match that flavor pretty well with a nice piece of Walleye. This makes Lake Hopatcong's annual Walleye weekend the perfect event for you.

The Knee Deep Fishing Club will be holding its annual Walleye Weekend on October 8 and October 9. The contest will award gift prizes and certificates for heaviest Walleyes caught at the lake during the weekend. Entry fee is $20 for Knee Deep Club Members and $25 for non-members and participants must submit an entry form.

Fishing will begin at 5 AM on Saturday, October 8 and will conclude at 12 PM on Sunday October 9. No one will be allowed to register after 8 AM on Saturday October 8. See the contest official entry form for all details.
