The Washington State Governor’s Cup was held at Kettle Falls on the beautiful Lake
Roosevelt on June 26th and 27th. There were 89 teams that competed in this year’s
tournament. Out of a possible 1068 fish that could be weighed in, the 89 teams brought
in 1047 fish to the scales. Many teams reported catching 30 to 40 fish per day. There are
a lot of walleye in Lake Roosevelt and the number of fish that were brought to the scales
over this two day tournament is a testament to how incredible and healthy this fishery is.
Team Fetha Styx had a good game plan going into this year’s Governor’s Cup based upon
our pre-fishing results, but as with any tournament, conditions do change and we found
this to be true on Saturday. After day one, we were sitting in 32nd place with a total
weight of 8.42 lbs. The leaders were at 15.78 lbs and we were almost 2 lbs behind 10th
place so Jeff and I knew we had to adapt our fishing if we wanted to have a chance at a
top 10 finish.
Take off!
When Sunday morning came, we decided to focus on fishing deeper water current
breaks and points that were closer to the main channel and oh did it pay off. We were
immediately rewarded with better quality fish up to 20”. After catching and sorting
through around 30 fish we were able to weigh in 6 fish for 11.66 lbs. Our two day total
of 20.08 lbs was good enough for a 7th place finish.

The next tournament for Team Fetha Styx is July 25th and 26th. The Spokane Walleye
Club presents the Washington State’s Walleye Championship back at Kettle Falls and the
winner is guaranteed a top prize of $10,000. Team Fetha Styx is currently in 3rd place in
the Angler of the Year standings and this will prove to be an exciting finish to this year’s
Washington State Walleye Circuit.
