It is with heavy hearts and slack lines that the NOWT Board of Directors has come to a consensus to cancel the 2021 season. The timing of this decision may seem early to some, however we need to respect the vacation schedules of our anglers, the budget cycles of our circuit sponsors, and consider the time and effort that our host communities spend to provide us with quality events. Ultimately, our main priority is the safety of our anglers, host communities, and their volunteers.

The NOWT Board of Directors remains committed to keeping our community alive with member contests, social media engagements and continuous communication about our strong return to competitive angling in Northern Ontario.

Please understand that while none of us has control over what is happening around us due to COVID 19, we are choosing to keep our long term focus the same as it was prior to the pandemic. We want to provide our anglers with the highest quality competitive angling experience Northern Ontario has to offer! Let’s all get through this together so that we can compete safely in 2022 when (hopefully) gathering will be permitted.”
