Saturday is shaping up NICE. Forecast is calling for 2 foot or less and it looks like we finally drew the kind of weather this tournament deserves.

If you’ve been on the fence, come fish it. Come hang out. Come support something that actually gives back locally. The Damon Rockett KDW helps fund scholarships, supports NHF, and helps our chapter stay involved in the issues that affect our industry and community.

Good weather, good people, and a good cause. See you at the scales!

We wish to recognize and thank the sponsors who have already reserved sponsorships for the upcoming fishing tournament. Further sponsorship opportunities are still available.
