I
n 2018, 392 teams attended the ninth-annual TBF/FLW Student Angler
Federation High School Fishing World Finals and National
Championship at Pickwick Lake. The 2019 World Finals and National
Championship will return to Pickwick Lake and Wilson Lake. If it’s anything
like last year’s event, there’ll be throngs of industry vendors, sponsors, fam-
ilies and local spectators packed into McFarland Park for daily weigh-ins.
In 2020, the dual event will head north to the Mississippi River at La
Crosse, Wis., and then in 2021 it’ll visit Lake Hartwell on the border of South
Carolina and Georgia.
