FLW Outdoors, in conjunction with The Bass Federation (TBF)-Student Angler Federation (SAF), has formed the National Guard FLW High School Fishing program, the largest student-angler initiative in history.

The High School Fishing program will grant students at more than 23,000 high schools across the United States and Canada the opportunity to compete at a high level, gain valuable experience and earn scholarships to benefit their continued education.

“High School Fishing is the natural progression from our successful National Guard FLW College Fishing program,” said Kathy Fennel, president, FLW Outdoors Operations Division. “With TBF heading up the state championships and FLW Outdoors leading the way at regional championships and the national championship, we are able to provide a comprehensive program that will help connect students to our nation’s natural resources while also providing a new sport for young men and women alike that will give students an even stronger connection to their schools.”

The High School Fishing program will begin with a High School State Championship for every state in the continental United States and the province of Ontario, Canada. Two-person teams from grades 9 through 12 will compete and be paired with a “coach” who will provide a boat for competition. Qualifying teams may advance to regional competition and, ultimately, a national championship.
