SECOND HIGH SCHOOL FISHING CAMP DrAWS 300 ATTENDEES
FLW and Costa welcomed 230 high school
anglers and 70 adults for the second annual
High School Fishing Camp at Murray State
University and Kentucky Lake. Campers were
coached by about a dozen FLW Tour pros plus
FLW tournament directors, local guides and FLW
media staff on subjects such as boat maintenance,
tackle selection, fishing techniques, electronics use, fish
care, angler etiquette, social media and fishing industry
career planning. The adults in attendance were mostly
parents and club advisors who participated in seminars
on best practices for managing high school fishing teams.
In all, it was another successful venture in preparing
the next generation of professional bass anglers.
“The 2019 camp left everyone in atten-
dance feeling energized for our sport and
excited to put the newfound knowledge to
work on the water,” says FLW National
Youth Director Scott Ellison, who led the
planning efforts for the camp. “It’s a tremen-
dous sight to see young anglers from every cor-
ner of our country come together with a shared
desire for the sport of fishing. We certainly expect to
see this camp continue to grow and provide more
opportunities for young anglers to pursue their fishing
passions.”
Details about the 2020 summer camp will be made
available in the spring.
