The Daniel Boone Council, partnering with Fontana Village Resort & Marina, are excited to present the Tenth Annual Daniel Boone Council Fontana Classic Bass Tournament. Food, fun, fishing and awards are just a few things to look forward too.  

Proceeds from the event help support the character and leadership development programs of Scouting for nearly 2,000 youth in WNC. A quality Scouting program contributes to the healthy development of young people by providing them the environment, resources and relationships they need to grow and learn.  It's an investment in the future!

 

WHEN: April 19th-20th - We ask all participants to attend Friday Night (April 19th) Check-in. We will have snacks and heavy hors d'oeuvre. Boats will usually start unloading around 5:30am Saturday morning. There is a mandatory safety/informational talk at the marina at 6:30 AM on both days. ALL Participants MUST agree to the rules. 

 

Participants will be fishing not only to Support Scouting, but to win CASH!
