Welcome!

Join the Forest Lake Fishing Team! Our club is dedicated to fostering a passion for fishing in a supportive and inclusive environment. We welcome all student anglers, regardless of background or experience level—whether you are just picking up a rod for the first time or looking to compete at the state level, there is a place for everyone on our team.

Participation Levels:

• Recreational Team (Grades 6–12): Focuses on skill-building through educational clinics and local "in-house" tournaments.

• Junior B.A.S.S. Team (Grades 6–8): Provides middle schoolers the opportunity to compete in conference tournaments and qualify for the Junior State Championship.

• High School Competition Team (Grades 9–12): A competitive track for high schoolers that requires tryouts to represent Forest Lake in high-stakes conference and state events.

Important Grade Level Note: Anglers participate based on the grade level they will be entering in the fall of the upcoming school year. For example, a current 5th grader is eligible to join the team and fish as a 6th grader during the summer season, even before their first day of middle school.

Requirements for Participants:

• Partners: Anglers must fish in teams of two. While students are responsible for finding their own partner, we provide opportunities to connect with potential teammates during our introductory meetings.

• Boats and Captains: Each team must have access to an appropriately equipped boat that meets league safety regulations. Additionally, teams must provide a volunteer Boat Captain (age 18+) to operate the main motor.

Throughout the season, our anglers enjoy expert-led clinics, week night tournaments on local lakes, and the chance to compete for prizes and bragging rights. Come join us on the water!
