The contest is sponsored by the Fresh Water Fishing Hall of Fame in collaboration with the Hayward Lakes Visitors and Convention Bureau.

A 2010 Hayward Crappie Contest “Championship Cup” will be presented to the angler with the heaviest crappie. The winner’s name will be engraved on the cup, which will remain on display at the Hall of Fame.
To kick off the crappie contest and fishing opener weekend, the Fishing Hall of Fame will host an all-you-can-eat crappie feed with all the fixings at the Original Famous Dave’s on Round Lake, from 5 to 7 p.m. Friday, April 30. The cost is $30 per person or $55 per couple. Participants will have an opportunity to meet Schara.
