FLW fishing championship to return to Massena August

Posted

MASSENA -- FLW, the world’s largest tournament-fishing organization, announced recently a revised 2020 Tackle Warehouse Pro Circuit schedule.

The Tackle Warehouse TITLE, the FLW Pro Circuit Championship will remain on the St. Lawrence River hosted by the town of Massena, but will now take place Aug. 24-29.

The 2020 Tackle Warehouse Pro Circuit regular-season schedule has been shortened from seven events to six.

After completing three events in the original 2020 schedule, FLW suspended the Pro Circuit on March 22 in an abundance of caution surrounding the coronavirus pandemic.

By its nature, the Tackle Warehouse Pro Circuit allows for social distancing as anglers compete in individual boats on thousands of acres of water.

Fans are encouraged to watch the tournaments and daily weigh-ins online from their homes through expanded live on-the-water broadcasts rather than attend weigh-ins, in an effort to avoid crowds.

FLW will livestream all four days, instead of only the final two days as previously done, and the on-the-water camera crew will also be expanded to help capture more of the action.

The events will proceed with marshals unless COVID-19 mitigation guidance in the host community at the time of each event dictates otherwise.
