FLW Canada going strong

First off, our apologies over the past week for being off line for both phone calls and social media replies. 2 back to back family medical emergencies happened, that even forced our cancelation of the 1st of our 3 planned infomation sessions.

During this time, I received messages and heard rumors of subjects such as flw canada has folded! Loss of sponsorships! No teams have entered!

All of these rumors being spread are 100% false

1. Your about to see a large push from FLW via the magazine and social media about FLW Canada and the international division, starting as early as the new flwoutdoors February issue. So FLW Canada is nowhere near closing it's doors! We are just getting started!!! FLW CANADA just ordered over 40 trophies for the 2016 season.

2. Sponsors! FLW Canada is brand new, and actually gaining new sponsors every week! Announcements will be starting in the coming weeks of the newest sponsors coming on board to join all the great ones that have been with us. FLW Canada has yet to lose a single sponsor!!!

3. Flw canada has no teams! Fact is our fields are ahead of what we forecasted to date. Lists have not been posted, nor will they! FLW Canada was given warning from Anglers and Sponsors that if FLW is coming to Canada, it better be FLW! So to follow along as FLW does, when teams sign up and we can confirm the spot held. Teams will be given confirmation and boat number for each event. That is how FLW and B.A.S.S do it, and so will we.

If we miss a reply on Big Fat Bass or Facebook, please contact us directly at info@flwcanada.com

Thanks to all for your patience and understanding from the past difficult weeks! But it's time to get back to work!!! Bring on June in Buckhorn.

Nothing like transparency. We want you to register. We want your money. But we won't tell you how many teams are registered. It's a mystery. Try to guess. We are the FLW. Now that's what I call customer service.

Thanks for the update Cory, looking forward to the season.

Hahahah well randolph for someone with alot of opionions you sure sound funny! How do i know that no list will be posted and only your number will be emailed to you thats it! that is all you need to know if you dont want to see a real series in Canada continue fishing these made up curcuits i know that i will ve fishing for 20 grand cash and a trip to the rayovac championships......if thats not enough motivation to show up go fish clubs bud! Good day

And btw cory has the best service you will ever see out of any tournament organizer in Canada(hence why he is the one running the series and not another person) after me and my partner drove 6 hours up to fish his event last year and we had a big bag a few hours into our day....we had a livewell problem so we asked cory if he could open up the scales around 10am for us and without hesitation he did it! And he really had never met me before! Thw next weekend a different series turned boats away that tried to weigh in early resulting in many dead fish .....so sorry what was that about corys service again?

That's the thing about transparency, it's where you don't hide anything.. LoL

Cory does work hard, I've seen it, I'm looking forward to seeing it all happen.
FLW 2016

But Randolph has a point..

I'm not sure where that rumor came from that we won't state how many teams have registered?. Just 2 weeks ago we announced on Facebook a prize offer in celebration with reaching 100 registration.

Any time the question has been asked, it has been shared.

So there is 100 teams registered per event? Wow! Thats awesome! Better then I thought. Keep it going Cory!

That's Cool 100 boats way to go, Looks like getting another opportunity in Canada to get to the FLW Cup is working, congrats Cory

[QUOTE=Cory Banford;385al media replies.

What lists are we talking about here?

I have no issues with not seeing who is fishing, kind of like it actually. All I need to know is that we will be there, and that somewhere on each lake there is a winning bag that will be tracked down, who else is there is secondary!

Well said mark! That should be everyones outlook! Cant wait for this year to start!

Now lets start spreading the Word guys! Just think if enough anglers support this down the road at 150 teams somebody could walk away with 30k and at 200 teams its 40k! Now if thats not something to get excited about then why are we all here? We FINALLY have a series that could one day be a steping stone for each and everyone of you to make that step the the big leagues! Dont kid yourself Fren and his partners have a paid trip down to the ravovac championship and have taken it seriously enough to go down and pre-fish table rock months in advance. They know the opportunity that they have and are going to do everything they can to make the best of that! And its all due to this series that started just one year ago just think of what this series can do down the road with ALL our support.

And to the guys that think fishing in Canada will never be as big as it in the states, just remember that many many years ago some guy looked up at the moon and said one day were going to stand on that thing, and everyone laughed at him.....a few years later, someone stood on the moon....this is going to get as big as WE want it to .....remember that

Im on the fence about registering for one or two events. Is there 100 teams registered for each already or is it 100 teams across the board. I dont care about a list, just a little clarification on numbers is all im looking for.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

Theodore Roosevelt.

Similar to Shawn, I am also curious as to the per event numbers... Can we get insight into that?

With 65 days until the deadline for the draw for starting positions
Tri lakes 42
Rice lake 38
St.Francis 36
Total 116 (not including yesterday's 3 or 4 entries)

See reply to Shawn's question.

Thanks Cory

I'm not understanding allot of guys here, everyone wants to have the same type of series that they have in the US, someone tries, then makes it happen and then everyone bitches about numbers. What gives?????
Enter it and see how it goes and then make a decision after that if it was the right series for you. If it wasn't then you can always go back to fishing the same series that you always fished with the same lakes year after year.
I hope this takes off, it will be nice to have one big series in Canada, I know it's a little costly, but you have to pay to play no matter what series you fish.
Myself I am really looking forward to having a series in Canada very close to what they have in the US, and this is one that is going to, and doing it.

This! Well stated Dave. Not sure why the chewin' about entries, but then again it is January LOL

Just interviewed Cory for a future Angler and Hunter Radio episode and I am looking forward to fishing FLW Canada this season!

Well said Dave Spence. After reading all the posts I was scratching my head as well. I guess if a guy wants to know how many teams, sign up and get your number. If guys are worried about a lot of teams or too little it shouldn't matter. The fact is it isn't even February I log on here and there's already negative energy and nobody's even got to wet a line to find out how it will be run. I don't know the gentleman running it personally but I commend the guy for trying. Everyone wants to fish in the big leagues for a chance at the dream like Curt had last year. Let's give them the benefit of the doubt and see how it pans out. I'm looking forward to seeing this. After all this is what everyone always wanted and it hasn't even started. Let's cut the guy some slack and let things unfold as they may. Come on guys lets think positive here. Sorry for the rant just confused over the negativity

Its all good guys Adamo is coming back to add some spice once again. I call all the good sticks to come out and compete against the best! This time I will be supporting bassmania so see you on the lake get practicing cause your going to need it! I love to fish and finally have the time to do it again, can't wait to see everyone again!

I will be doing something speacial this season for bassmania its a surprise!shhhhh! its about time we supportted Andy long over due wake up guys! I show you all how to do it since nothing has changed lots of talk very little action. Lets have fun you guys ready NO BS this time!

SUPPORT YOUR LOCALS FIRST! THE FLW YA YA! The money doesn't mean anything its the feeling you get!

I will generate more money in a series if you all want I know how to do it, I have been waiting and still nothing because there is to many tournaments that mean nothing if your not fishing against the best, it all up to you anglers what you want and what I seeing is you all dumpt it down the tubes because of the personal intrests of a few who forgot where they came from what have they given back to the sport of tournament fishing nothing but destroy it. Let them be! Do you remember a post I made! Not this time boys everyone knows the TRUTH!

BRING IT ON

I've only read the first few comments thus far but exactly what the hell is everyone's hard on about knowing how many teams are registered? What effing difference does it make? This behavior is not limited to FLW CAN, but anglers seem to want this information for other tours as well. Ontario is the ONLY angling community I've ever come across where that matters. It never used to matter so what gives now? So disgusted when I see posts like that. If boat numbers really make a difference in your decision for any reason then you're in the wrong sport. Shoot for the stars and fish top level tours that fill fields or shut up, lose your money at this expensive sport like the rest of us and enjoy these privileges while you still can.

I think people want to know how many are registered to know what the payouts will be like etc..This is the first full year for this series so its normal for people to have questions.
