Reeling in Fishing Tournaments on
WBL
|

|
This past weekend, Morristown Marine's
"Rockin' The River" fishing tournament took place in the
City of Rockwood at Tom Fuller Park,
boasting a record number of 235 boats.
“In just three years, the number of anglers participating in
this tournament nearly doubled and brought in around
$150,000 in direct economic impact. As tourism director I
hear how badly these teams want to compete on Watts Bar Lake
– and I think this tournament clearly proves that,” said Pam
May, Roane Alliance.
This weekend, the Tennessee Bass Federation is in the
City of Kingston, and we expect to see
similar results. As fishing tournaments are in town, keep in
mind that these visitors are looking for hotels,
restaurants, fuel, bait and entertainment. Let’s encourage
the anglers to spend their dollars in Roane. We encourage
all Chamber members to welcome them and tell them how to
#soakinroane by sharing your favorite Roane County
experiences and local flavor. Click
