The Daniel Boone Council, partnering with Fontana Village Resort & Marina, are excited to present the Twelfth Annual Daniel Boone Council Bass Classic 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: March 28-29th - Boats will usually start unloading around 5:00 AM 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.
