Blll Posted July 14, 2017 Posted July 14, 2017 Just saw news: 2018 FLW Schedule does not include Beaver Lake. Good for the fish but tough on Rogers and surrounding area. Lots of $$$ gone. Anybody know why?
Stump bumper Posted July 15, 2017 Posted July 15, 2017 Did Walmart back out again? They only come to Beaver because of Walmart and when Walmart cuts back they cut Beaver out for better fishing.
RyanG Posted July 15, 2017 Posted July 15, 2017 Pretty sure Walmart stepped away from flw. Not positive but wouldnt be at all surprised if that's why they aren't coming back. Although it wouldn't be such a struggle every year if they would try coming just a bit earlier in the year. But oh well. 4 of the 6 events next year are in Florida and Kentucky. I'd say they favor the southeast just a bit. Lol.
bferg Posted July 15, 2017 Posted July 15, 2017 A better title might be "WalMart bypasses FLW". It is cool when they come but the reality is Beaver shouldn't be on the list. They only do 7 tournaments a year- they need to get the best fisherman on the best lakes.
Quillback Posted July 15, 2017 Posted July 15, 2017 Dang, they just rolled out FLW live coverage, would've been fun to watch some of the live fishing. Other than that, I don't care that much, I don't follow the FLW at all except when they come to Beaver. Dan the fisherman and Carl W 2
Mike jones Posted July 15, 2017 Posted July 15, 2017 Rumors were swirling last year about this when FLW was in town. The guys knew this was coming. Sucks for the $$ lost for Rogers!
Blll Posted July 15, 2017 Author Posted July 15, 2017 I went to PC last year during the tourney as Evinrude was supposed to be giving test runs with the new smaller(150-175) G2 motors. Of course it started pouring and they didn't show. Wound up under a roof with Bill, the head guy and we swapped some Viet Nam stories. He said that the weather really put a damper on the turn out for their events, weigh-ins etc. Seemed like just fishing luck but he may have been considering walking even then. I have seen no Walmart info about them dropping their involvement but then they don't always consult me.
