All ages welcome. No registration required. Our five Big Bass Tourneys (April, May, June, July and August) are in a member/guest, or 2-person, format. Each participating WOLA member may fish by themselves, with another WOLA member or with a guest.
Participants can begin fishing any time after the event starts with the blow of a horn. Each participant can weigh only ONE live, big bass. Anglers are required to be at the dam when the horn sounds, which marks the end of the tournament. Cast and retrieve only – no trolling. No live bait or multi-rigs. The winner takes home a plaque.
Important: To protect the tournament’s integrity and fairness, tourney participants may not fish earlier in the day.
