BEDFORD, Va. – Fishing League Worldwide (FLW) is set to visit Bedford next week, April 26-27, with the YETI FLW College Fishing event at Smith Mountain Lake presented by Costa and the Bass Pro Shops FLW High School Fishing Open at Smith Mountain Lake. The tournaments, hosted by Bedford Tourism/Bedford Area Welcome Center, will showcase some of the top young anglers from across the region competing for cash and prizes and angling for their chance to advance to the FLW College Fishing National Championship and High School Fishing National Championship events.

The college anglers will kick off competition on Friday, April 26, at 6:30 a.m. EDT at Parkway Marina, located at 16918 Smith Mountain Lake Parkway in Huddleston, Virginia. The weigh-in will be held at the marina on Friday at 2:30 p.m. The high school anglers will then compete on Saturday, April 27, launching at 6:30 a.m. from the Parkway Marina and weighing in at 3 p.m. All takeoffs and weigh-ins are free to attend and open to the public, and will be streamed live online at FLWFishing.com.

YETI FLW College Fishing teams compete in three regular-season qualifying tournaments in one of five conferences – Central, Northern, Southern, Southeastern and Western. All participants must be registered, full-time students at a college, university or community college and members of a college fishing club that is recognized by their school. The top 10 teams from each division’s three regular-season tournaments and the top 20 teams from the annual FLW College Fishing Open will advance to the 2020 FLW College Fishing National Championship. Additional teams will qualify for the National Championship if the field size in regular-season events exceeds 100 boats. The Potomac River and Marbury, Maryland, will play host to the 2019 FLW College Fishing National Championship, June 4-6, 2019.

The Bass Pro Shops FLW High School Fishing Open tournaments are free, two-person (team) events for students in grades 7-12 and open to any FLW and Student Angler Federation-affiliated high school clubs. The top 10 percent of teams at each Open event along with the TBF High School Fishing state championships will advance to the 2019 High School Fishing National Championship on Pickwick Lake in June. The High School Fishing national champions will each receive a $5,000 college scholarship to the school of their choice.
