Illinois Walleye Trail / Spring Valley Walleye Club
2025 Fishing Tournament Series
At the end of the 2022 Tournament Season, the Spring Valley Walleye Club purchased the Illinois Walleye Trail. We elected to purchase the IWT to preserve the sport of tournament fishing on the Illinois River. The SVWC is currently working to grow the Illinois Walleye Trail and we look forward to seeing everyone this tournament season.
