COVID-19 UPDATE

Mar 29, 2020

Originally posted Mar 16, 2020

As most of you probably already know, many schools, bars, restaurants, and some DNR State Parks have closed across the country in an effort to curb the outbreak. President Trump declared a national emergency, and the CDC recommended gatherings of more than 50 people be canceled for the next eight weeks.

I want to assure you that in times of uncertainty, the safety of our anglers remains our highest priority.

USA BASSIN wants to be a proactive partner with local and national health authorities. With that being said, we want to inform all of our Championship anglers that the upcoming Championship Week Events (The Ranger Aluminum Cup, The Lucas Oil Tournament of Champions and The Ranger Classic) have been rescheduled to the following dates:
