How do I enter a National Walleye Tour Event?
All Pro anglers and all Co-anglers must register separately as individuals by clicking on Registration on the National Walleye Tour website. Entry forms are also available by printing & mailing/faxing into the NWT office. All mail in registrations and payments must be received prior to each events registration deadline.
All anglers (Pro’s and Co’s) get into the event based on the date/time stamp both registration and entry fee is received.
Priority PRO-Angler entry allows anglers to pay for all 4 events in advance and be prioritized at the top of the confirmation list ahead of single event entries. The deadline for Priority Pro entry is March 27, 2026 at 5pm CST.
Priority CO-Angler entry allows Co-anglers to pay for all 4 events in advance and be prioritized at the top of the confirmation list ahead of single event entries. The deadline for Priority Co entry is February 25, 2026 at 4pm.
Deadline to register for any single event will be the Friday two (2) weeks before the tournament. At this time the field will be evened based on the date/time stamp you registered. Priority Pro and Co entries will be first, then all other single event entries will be assigned according to date and time of paid entry.
BOTH Pro and Co anglers need to make arrangements that can be changed/cancelled if we cannot pair you. NWT is not responsible for any additional or outside costs accrued by the angler in the event you cannot be paired. There are no refunds once angler is confirmed to fish.
How do I know if I made it in to the event as an Angler?
After registering online, anglers will receive an email with their payment receipt and another email with their registration information.
Angler fields will be based on date/time stamp of registration and NWT staff will send a separate confirmation that Pro’s and CO’s have been matched and CONFIRMED TO FISH as soon the field is fully paired. For all Anglers – Please be mindful that this is all dependent on how early Pro’s and Co’s register for the event and if they register for only 1 or all 4.
More information with specifics about the event will be emailed to each participate on the event signup deadline.
How do I qualify for the Championship?
Qualification for the year-end Championship is the top 40 pros and top 40 co-anglers from the AOY point standings after the fourth regular season event. NWT Pro or Co anglers who win a qualifying event during the season may be added to the championship field of 40 if they are not already qualified and if that angler fished all days of all four regular season events. If the pro-angler and co-angler field is not even, we will continue down the points list until there is a full field of 40 pros and cos. Top 40 pro anglers will NOT have an entry fee to pay to participate in the Championship. Top 40 co-angler’s entry fee will be $500 to participate in the Championship.
What is the National Walleye Tour Angler’s Advantage Program?
The National Walleye Tour Anglers Advantage Program allows each angler, for an additional $250 (pro) or additional $100 (co-angler) to compete in a higher payout bracket. Both Pros and Co-Anglers may get into the optional Anglers Advantage pots before the registration deadlines, if they choose.
The OPTIONAL angler’s advantage fee will be in addition to the standard tournament entry and must be paid when the angler registers or before registration closes for each event.
The Anglers Advantage entry fee will be paid out at 97% registered participating anglers and based on the number of entries into the Program. Anglers Advantage CANNOT be paid on-site.
Please do not sign up or enter the Angler Advantage program unless you feel that you completely understand the Program and payout.
