The Aurora Bassmasters are excited to announce that Lionshead Lakefront Resort and Yacht Club in Jackson’s Pt ON is now the official host hotel for the 2007 Bass Pro Shops (BPS) Lake Simcoe Open.

Glenn and Lianne, Innkeepers at Lionshead were thrilled to hear of the news that the BPS Lake Simcoe Open had moved from the west side of Simcoe to the east. “We are located about five minutes from Sibbald Point Provincial Park – the new home of the BPS Open, and have years of experience catering to the needs of our angler clientele. We believe our new partnership with the BPS Lake Simcoe Open is an excellent opportunity to highlight the great trophy bass fishery in Lake Simcoe. We hope that by aligning ourselves with an event of this calibre that not only will tournament anglers think of Lionshead as the place to stay when they visit the lake, but so too will the every-day anglers who come here to enjoy our great multi-species, year round fishery.”

“Herb Quan, President of the Aurora Bassmasters added that, “On behalf of the Aurora Bassmasters, I’d like to extend our sincere thanks to Lionshead for their commitment. Their generous support is great not just for our competing anglers, but also for our other sponsors, visitors and special guests who are coming to watch the weigh in at Sibbald Point Provincial Park (beginning at 3pm) and need a place to stay.”
