We've had to cancel the BBC this upcoming Father's Day weekend, but the Boundary Bass Classic will return June 18th, 2022, and maybe even before that!

It is with sincere regret that we are cancelling the 2021 Boundary Bass Classic for the Father's Day Weekend.

If the opportunity presents itself, we will look at running a bass tournament in the fall. What do people think of that?

The Boundary Bass Classic will return Saturday June 18th, 2022.

Yes, we're reposting this across all of the IOMPresents events. For those of you that follow multiple events, we'll apologize in advance. Unfortunately, its a message that really needs to be shared, and as often as possible. We've all read the reports where the big online-only businesses are making money 'hand over fist' while local businesses are going out of business. Those big online businesses rarely - if ever - support local or regional events like the . With every dollar you spend, you are making a decision about the kind of community you want, and the kind of events you want to see happening within that community. Please, choose wisely.

The first Bass Battle is "in the bag", and by all standards it was a success! Congratulations to the Brady Selk and the rest of the winners! Kudos to everyone that took part in this!!!

On behalf of James and the rest of the IOMPresents' team, we'd like to thank Dallas Kirkpatrick for allowing us to participate in what we suspect will become an annual tradition.

Shout out to The Angler's Atlas and Tourism Estevan for making this event a reality.

Smoke on the Water - 2021 is one of our biggest events, and coincidentally one of our most successful charity fundraisers, so its with heavy heart that we're not out at Madge tonight, lovin' some from In Good Taste Food Service, some great beverages from Beam Suntory and Molson Coors 306 via the Kamsack Liquor Store, and of course, the live music!!!

COVID has hit the events side of tourism here in Saskatchewan HARD, and by extension it's taken a heavy toll on the charities that many of those events benefit. Smoke on the Water has supported several causes in the Kamsack region over the years, and we had looked forward to doing so once again this evening through the auction and the valued support of the sponsors. Alas, it was not to be, but rest assured, we'll be back in 2021, and we'll be kickin it up a notch! We got some fun to catch up on!!!

Well...definitely not the way we'd wanted to start the year. 😭 Unfortunately, this is the new reality of 2020. COVID is going to temporarily cancel more and more events as time goes on. While we definitely appreciate the desire to "get out and do stuff", the reality is that its much more important to gradually and intelligently "re-open" Saskatchewan. Even though we are events managers and this is part of our livelihood, we believe that large scale events like the will be last on the list of things to re-engage. 😭

Our second walleye event of the year is one of the most unique in competitive walleye angling! We aren't aware of any other walleye event that provides this kind of challenge to the experienced tournament angler - putting together a pattern for very different lakes over the course of the tournament 😮 - while giving those new to competitive fishing a solid opportunity to take Day One and Day Two prizes! 👏

Last year, Dave Sellwood and Jeremy Mayer did the unimaginable and placed 1st on BOTH days, earning the title of Calling Lakes Conquerors, and proved that the is the place that legends come to fish. 😎

The 4th Annual takes place September 5 and 6th 2020, launching first in Katepwa Point Provincial Park on the Saturday and then in Echo Valley Provincial Park the Sunday! This is the 2nd stop on the Sask Slam and the 7th on the CWT - Central Walleye Trail.

In 2018, we lent a hand to Madge Lake Developments in putting on the annual Smoke On The Water event. Here in 2019, we are in the process of transitioning the event to us here at IOMPresents, and along the way SOTW is expanding to TWO DAYS!

This event has been a cornerstone of the Town of Kamsack and Duck Mountain Provincial Park region for six years now, generating funds for the wellness centre and the KamKids daycare along the way. It's also been a tremendous community builder, strengthening the bonds that make communities like these so strong, vibrant, and resilient.

We are proud to be a more active participant in the 2019 Smoke On The Water, and we're looking forward to many more years, helping many more area causes!

The 2019 Smoke On The Water Community Fundraiser & Block Party is now a TWO DAY EVENT!!! 🎊 We're expanding the party to give you more music, more great food, and to give back more to the community groups that make the Town of Kamsack and Duck Mountain Provincial Park region so awesome! 🎉

This year, we'll have raffles, 50/50, and the great people from In Good Taste Food Service providing another fantastic meal before Saskatchewan's very own Brad Johner and The Johner Boys take the stage Friday night!!!

On Saturday, we'll have a different 50/50, and then A.R CASH will take the stage reminding us just how great June and Johnny Cash really were, with the August Long Weekend fireworks to follow!

Here in 2019, proceeds will be going to BOTH the KamKids Daycare AND the 100th Anniversary Celebration of the Kamsack United Church!!!

Stay tuned folks! This page is going to be buzzing with activity as we announce so many more details in the days to follow!

A HUGE "Thank you!" is in order for Access Communications here. Truly. Thank you for choosing the RRWC as the fishing tournament to broadcast and showcase tournament fishing and the anglers that take part in it here in Saskatchewan.

We know we ask this alot, but seriously, HOW COOL IS THIS? 🤔😲🤯

This is an extraordinary opportunity for the tournament, the trails, Mainprize Regional Park, City of Weyburn, and of course our incredible sponsors and volunteers, but ultimately, this is really all about you, the RRWC anglers.
