Team Vision Quest takes back to back Team of the Year!
It was another great year for us on Lake Erie as well as Lake Ontario. I guess having 40 years of experience on Erie and 34 on Ontario has it’s rewards.
How we won the 2024 T.O.Y again: Team V.Q. finished 3rdin the Spring Trout. 1st day one Slam and 1st on day 2 Slam, then concluded the overall win by taking 2nd place in the Fall Trout Challenge, just .45 points behind the winners.
That’s what the T.O.Y. is about-being consistent!
We are fortunate to have won 4 times in the 6 years we have held this overall award. The E.P.S.F.A. hopes to keep this going as an annual event. The T.O.Y. was discontinued several years ago but our Association has decided to bring it back for the second year in a row.
See ya at the Spring Trout Challenge in 2025’
