One of the biggest Walleye tournaments in Saskatchewan takes place this weekend on Tobin Lake near Nipawin, Sask and Master’s student Jessica Butt will be there. She’s not competing but doing research. Butt is examining the movement of walleye and sauger after they are caught and released during angling tournaments like the one in Nipawin. “Angling is such a huge part of the culture in Saskatchewan. I’ve been tagging fish at angling tournaments around Saskatchewan this summer and you can see how important these competitions are to people,” says Butt. “We want to know where these fish go after they’re released. Do they leave the release site? Do they return to the area they were captured? Do they even survive?”
