The Muskie Country Tournament Circuit (MCTC) will be hosting two qualifying tournaments on the first weekend of June with a Butternut Lake event on Saturday, June 1, and a Phillips Chain tourney on Sunday, June 2. Both of the events will mark the 13th year in a row that the WMT Series has hosted a qualifying tournament on each lake. It has been abundantly clear why the WMT Series has returned every year to these Price County bodies of water. They are world class muskie fisheries known not only by local anglers, but in the case of Butternut Lake is known world-wide in “muskie circles” where much has been written about Butternut Lake’s ability to produce numbers of muskies and its trophy potential. But in the case of the Phillips Chain, word of mouth has propelled the chain’s deserved reputation, benefitting those fortunate muskie anglers who heed the call to chase muskies there and rewarding most.
