It is disappointing to hear the FLW is not coming north next year. However, this should only solidify what we have and allow better planning for other events that the top anglers in the province will attend.

You only ever have to be in an FLW event to understand the quality of what we have here. The CSFL weigh-in and live release system is superior and goes much further to ensure a healthy fishery.

Maybe now all the fragmentation that has happened over the past few years that has detracted from what tournament anglers really want, bigger fields and payouts will be a reality.

Hats off to the CSFL for ensuring a bigger, better, and more stable future in the sport we all love.
