Welcome to the Headwaters Tourament Page                                       
   & The 2008 "Spring Classic"
We are very happy to announce a new concept in our Headwaters Spring Classic. Joining efforts with the Fall Tournament known as Paul's Pro/Am Musky Classic we will be adding another cash award and other prizes for the Team to finish with the HIGHEST COMBINED POINTS of both tourneys. The Spring Classic and Pauls Pro/Am are the longest running musky tournaments in Eagle River. They have a combined total of  over 55 years of experience and have long last, come together. Yes, you will need to fish both tournaments with the same partner to compete for this prestigious award, and that team who finishes with the Highest Points will be a new Chain Champion and will be awarded the team names on the New EAGLE CUP which will remain on display for all time in Eagle River.            

  In addition the team will be awarded $1,000.00 and each partner will receive an Embroidered Custom Jacket with the Champions of the Chain on the back. If you are interested in fishing these tournaments here is your info on the first... The Spring Classic
