OUR MISSION STATEMENT 

Through partnership and co-operation, it is the goal 

of the TOP50 to promote quality recreational and 

competitive angling experience while preserving 

the fishery for future generations by employing live 

release. To support economic growth of our host 

communities, and provide charitable organizations 

the opportunity to raise much needed funds. 

The TOP50 is a “Registered” not for profit organization. 

Established (2002) to assist local communities/associations and 

provide them with an opportunity to raise much needed funds. 

The TOP50 is an organized series of tournaments, that provide 

anglers with a learning experience while competing on a professional 

level. 

Catch and release is highly promoted. 

Special consideration is given to youth anglers. 

Entry fees, rules, and paybacks are consistent throughout the series. 

Competitors may choose to fish one event or as many as they wish. 

This series has a voluntary annual fee of $100.00. 

Participation fee provides the angler(s) an opportunity to compete in 

the Provincial Classic which has an annual purse of over $30,000. 

Included with the TOP50 fee, anglers compete for prestigious title(s) 

such as angler of the Year (AOTY), Team of the Year (TOTY), and 

Rookie of the Year (ROTY). 

All of these titles come with free entries to the following season’s 

series, plaques and exposure on entry forms and in the Tournament 

angler Magazine.

your first qualifying event.

2. Fish a minimum of 2 events. 

3. Qualify by virtue of points in the AOTY race. (first 100 anglers) 

If you wish to vie for Angler of the Year (AOTY) you must. 

1. Be a paid participant of the TOP 50 in good standing 

2. Promote the TOP 50 and competitive angling 

3. Compete with many anglers that have paid the participation fee 

4. Compete with many new, paid/unpaid participants, anglers to the 

Top 50 Pike Tournament Series 

5. Attain the highest score in the AOTY standings 

6. Promote the TOP 50 by assisting, in the booth at shows, promo- 

tions and/or at tournaments (set-up, tear down, movement of 

equipment, stats, website etc.)

category will receive 10. The second highest score 9.5, the third highest

of the Year. 

Top 50 Directors are not eligible for this award. 

GOOD NEWS FOR THE ROOKIES 

Many of our rookie participants have not returned to compete after 

their rookie year. WHY ? Perhaps they found the competition to strong 

or where not ready to compete as a rookie. Competing against a seasoned 

field of anglers could prove to be an overwhelming experience, 

leaving the new angler with the I can’t compete against these Pros 

attitude. This could lead the first time (Rookie) competitors to become 

discouraged from future tournament competition. To avoid this scenario 

from happening, we shall allow all new and past rookie competitors 

three attempts to achieve the ROTY title. Some pre-requisites must be 

put in place to safe guard seasoned anglers from taking advantage of 

this opportunity. 

PREREQUISITE FOR THE (ROOKIE OF THE YEAR) ROTY 

- Must be new to the TOP50 or not fished as a participant of the 

TOP50 for more than 3 years. 

- Must be a current paid participant of the TOP50. 

- Must promote competitive angling. 

- Must compete in a minimum of three (3) events per season. 

- Title will be decided on the best 3 finishes in the Angler of the Year 

standings. 

- An angler under the age of 19 will remain in contenders for this title 

until the age of 19 or until the ROTY title is achieved. 

In other words, all new and current anglers that have not had a paid 

participation fee for more than three years are eligible to compete for the 

ROTY title. 

PREREQUISITE TO TEAM OF THE YEAR. 

-Must be a current paid participant of the TOP50 

-Must promote competitive angling 

-Must compete in a minimum of 5 events 

-Title will be decided by the highest team score in the angler of the year race.

Free entry fees to all tournaments in the following year. 

Exposure in the Tournament Angler Magazine. 

Exposure on the entry forms. 

If you wish to participate in any of the TOP50 tournament trail events 

there are no additional fees other than the entry fee of $230.00.

This will be the 8th annual Parry Sound Pike 

Tournament and the fourth one associated with the 

TOP50 Pike Series events. The tournament is always 

the first one of the year as pike season opens May 1st 

on Georgian Bay, a great way to start the open water 

season. 

With thousands of bays accessible from Parry 

Sound harbour, anglers have a shot at some of the 

best early season pike angling going. Combine this 

with the beautiful surroundings of Georgian Bay, making 

it a great event for the novice angler or seasoned 

pike anglers. All are welcome. 

The tournament will be held at the Big Sound 

Marina. This facility will provide docking for all boats 

for boat check in the morning of the tournament 

weigh-in and prize presentation after the event. There 

are three public boat launches situated within a short 

boat ride from the Big Sound facility. 

A donation will be made by the Parry Sound Pike 

Tournament to a local charity or group. This year we 

are hoping to see many new faces as well as a few 

old ones. Parry Sound is a great place to fish and 

boat so come out and give our tournament a try!

ST. CHARLES 

Come one, come all, avid pike anglers and enjoy another challenging, 

yet fun-filled day of fishing in the abundant weed growth 

of the West Arm of Lake Nipissing at Victoria Lodge on June 2, 

2012! 

It is with great anticipation that the St-Charles Seniors’ Club 

Alidor is preparing to host their 6th annual event. We are anxious 

to see all you returning participants and hopefully see new anglers 

join in and take the opportunity to participate, rain or shine. Some 

of you may remember last year’s sudden but short-lived wind and 

rain incident at the start of the launching. However, that didn’t stop 

the fish from biting nor the fishermen from showing their passion; it 

was obvious there is no shortage of pike in our waters. 

This tournament has become the most important fundraiser for 

the Senior’s Club Alidor. Club Alidor is an incorporated non-profit 

organization whose mission is to ensure that the elderly and other 

members of our community have the opportunity to lead healthier 

lifestyles through social interaction, physical activities and community 

support initiatives. This is achieved through our weekly 

social and congregate dining program, a very demanding project, 

both financially and administratively. It requires several teams of 

dedicated volunteers who give indiscriminately of their time and 

effort in the preparation of meals and social activities, and in the 

administration and financial operation of the Club. 

We wish to thank our sponsors who so generously support 

through advertising and donations; they remain one of the main 

sources of profit for the event. 

Finally, we would like to thank, you the organizers and volunteers, 

for some very hard work collecting advertisements and 

donations, preparing meals, monitoring launching and measuring 

stations, tabulating the fishing results and promptly reporting the 

data. All in all, we thank you for the smooth operation of this event 

year after year. 

We wish to remind all anglers that registration starts at 5:00pm 

followed by an orientation meeting at Club Alidor, 43 Main St. in 

St-Charles (same site as last year’s) on Friday June 1st. 

See you at the tournament!

renewals, and funds generated from our events. 

The CFGA is involved in many community-oriented 

events such as our annual ice Fishing Derby and our 

Summer Pike Classic Tournament. These events keep 

the community active during the winter as well as the 

summer. The Chelmsford Fish and game association 

focused its efforts on walleye culture and the restocking 

of local lakes and streams. 

This effort has been enhanced through the hard 

work of dedicated volunteers with the construction of 

a walleye hatchery and 2 ½ hectare ponds. Our association 

works hand in hand with the MNR, Laurentian 

University “Laurentian Fresh Water Ecology” and 

Collège Boréal to ensure that our projects meet and 

exceed all of their standards. 

It’s important for people to support us during our 

annual events because most of the money collected 

goes towards our hatchery/ponds. There are also the 

everyday costs of owning property and maintaining it. 

It’s not cheap to run this type of operation. 

Please support us by becoming a member and 

participating in our fishing tournaments.

WHITEWATER LAKE 

The Knights of Columbus, (Chevaliers de Colomb) 

Council 10602 of Ste. Marguerite d’Youville in Val 

Caron/ Val Therese, is proud to host the Top50 Whitewater 

Lake Pike Tournament 

We thank you sincerely for assisting us in our work 

by attending this tournament. The Knights’ charitable 

works are not funded by any government or other 

agency - we finance our community action and various 

charitable donations by organizing various events, 

such as this one, with member Knights freely donating 

their time and efforts. Your participation allows us to 

continue to help the sick, infirm and the less fortunate 

of our communities. 

Whitewater Lake is a jewel on the shores of the 

Greater Sudbury town of Azilda only 8 kilometers from 

downtown Sudbury. Our tournament site at the Whitewater 

Lake Centennial Park Comfort Centre, close to 

Sudbury Aviation, provides excellent free boat launching 

and parking. Whitewater Lake is renowned for its 

quantity and quality of pike, walleye, bass and perch, 

with pike being the predominant species/ and the only 

species relevant to this tournament. The lake’s size 

and shelter from the wind allows smaller boats an even 

chance at hooking the winning combination. 

So, get your boat, motor and fishing gear ready, and 

come join us in Azilda for a day of fun and fantastic 

prizes.

ELK LAKE 

The town of Elk lake has a fascinating historical 

background stretching from the fur trading days to 

the heady silver rush just after the turn of the century. 

Incorporated in 1909, the town prospered under 

the leadership of its famous first reeve, Jack Munroe, 

who was a prosper, mining engineer, famed football 

player, boxing star and war hero. 

The town of Elk lake has evolved to become a 

thriving tourism,lumber and mining centre. Elk lake 

has long been known for its friendliness and community 

spirit. 

The Elk lake Pike Bonanza is one of the longest 

running pike tournaments around. And with good 

reason with 28 miles of the Montreal river to fish there 

is plenty of pike to go around. Not to mention those 

honey holes in Mountain lake where that 40”+ Pike is 

hiding. 

In all, Elk lake has great waters, friendly people 

and a great facility. This makes the Elk lake Pike 

Bonanza a must attend tournament.

ATTENTION PROVINCIAL 

CLASSIC QUALIFIERS 

The Provincial Classic will be held five days after 

the last tournament in Elk Lake. 

This does not give the Top50 directors and host 

club much time to contact and invite qualifying 

anglers. To avoid any problems receiving late entries 

and filling the field the following procedure will take 

place. 

All anglers that know they have qualified by virtue 

of points in the angler of the year (AOTY) race, and 

will be attending the Provincial Classic are urged to 

do the following. 

“Pay the full NON-REFUNDABLE Classic ($220.00) 

entry before August 15th 2012. Doing so will enter 

you into a draw for starting boat numbers and for the 

free paid entry to the 2012 Provincial Classic. The 

draw for starting position boat #’and free entry will 

take place in Elk Lake Sept. 2nd 2012.” 

Entries for the Provincial Classic will be accepted 

until we have a full field, but all entries received post 

marked after August 15th will not be in the draw and 

will be given the remaining starting boat numbers as 

their entry is received. Get your entries in early and 

avoid missing the draw! 

This will help the Top Fifty a lot!
