High school teams from across the state will compete in a day-long competition.
The Arkansas State High School Fishing Championship, part of the Student Angler Federation affiliated with The Bass Federation, will be held Sun., April 24, 2022, on Lake Hamilton. The tournament will bring in high school fishing teams from across the state for a day-long competition.
The high school fishing teams will launch from the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission’s Lake Hamilton Fish Hatchery at 6:30 a.m., and weigh-in will be held at 3 p.m. The teams will fish for largemouth and smallmouth bass.
“One of the fastest-growing youth-related movements across the country are high school fishing clubs,” said Randy Sullivan, of Mayfield, Ky., senior national tournament director for the Student Angler Federation. “The objective of the SAF is to relate subject matter and basic principles of education to how anglers use them out on the water every day. Also, the SAF is aimed at getting students off the couch and back into the great outdoors by promoting the formation of fishing clubs and outdoor activities within the school.”
