Walleye Rodeo
May 15 - May 18
Come to Canton Lake this May to participate in Oklahoma’s oldest and largest fishing tournament. Prizes will be awarded for the five largest walleye, total poundage of walleye for all four days and the largest fish caught in each of 10 different species. Other fish species in the competition include striped bass, drum, buffalo, carp, sunfish, flathead, white bass, channel cat, crappie, black bass and hybrid. There are also specially tagged fish that are worth $20 to $500 if caught. Fish must be registered at the official weigh station to be eligible for prizes, and all state game and fishing laws must be observed during the rodeo. A kids’ fishing derby will follow.
Not a fisherman? The weekend includes bingo, food vendors, a 5K and fun run, parade, business vendors, and a street dance Saturday night. You also can try your luck at the Lucky Star Casino, Canton, or watch a race at the nearby Longdale Speedway Racetrack.
