For Immediate Release:
Orillia Ontario: 2017 Inductee to the Canadian Angler Hall of Fame, Wil Wegman of Bradford Ontario, might be better known for catching fish than swimming with them, but it's exactly the latter he will be doing on Saturday August 12th in the fish-filled waters of Orillia's Lake Couchiching. "I'll be swimming 4km across Couchiching in my fifth Sun City Swim fund raising effort along with about 50 other dedicated swimmers”, he said. All proceeds from the Sun City Swim in 2017 will benefit the Child Advocacy Centre of Simcoe/Muskoka ... supporting abused children.

For Immediate Release: Today the Aurora Bassmasters are proud to release and distribute a report on their Lake Simcoe Bass Tagging Research Project . This report was written by Steven Kerr (retired MNRF biologist and renowned science report writer) with assistance from Wil Wegman (conservation director for Aurora Bassmasters club). It summarizes the results of a five year (2006 – 2010) cooperative research project involving the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF) and the Aurora Bassmasters. This project helped determine characteristics of bass (Micropterus spp.)  angled during eighteen different competitive fishing events on Lake Simcoe and or Lake Couchiching. These catch and release tournaments were comprised of smaller Bassmaster club tournaments, larger one day open events and even the three day Eastern Division B.A.S.S. Federation Nation Championship in 2009.
