Neenah to Host Major League Fishing Bass Pro Tour in June 2020

Major League Fishing (MLF) Bass Pro Tour will make a tournament stop in Neenah, Wisconsin, June 5-10, 2020. The competitive tournament will bring nearly 100 of the world's best anglers to Neenah to fish on Lake Winnebago and nearby waters.

"We are honored to welcome back the Major League Fishing Bass Pro Tour to the Fox Cities in 2020. During the Bass Pro Tour competition in Neenah in June 2019, the world was able to see the natural beauty and abundant fishing opportunities of Lake Winnebago," Fox Cities Convention and Visitors Bureau Director of Sports Marketing Matt Ten Haken said. "Additionally, through MLF's one-of-a-kind video coverage, viewers were given a taste of what Neenah and the Fox Cities can offer to visitors. We look forward to working with MLF, 80 of the best anglers in the world, and our local community to host an even better event in June 2020."

The MLF Bass Pro Tour is a series of catch-and-release tournaments, held across the United States, where a winner is determined by the total weight of their catch. The anglers will fish for largemouth and smallmouth bass. Additional tournament details, promotions, and final schedules are forthcoming.

Neenah hosted a stop on the tour in 2019 too, which generated hundreds of thousands of dollars in local economic impact from anglers, production crew, spectators, and others visiting the Fox Cities for the event. Viewers can watch stage eight of the 2019 MLF Bass Pro Tour from Neenah on Sat., Nov. 23 from 6:00 a.m.-8:00 a.m. on Discovery Channel. Highlights from each stage of the 2020 MLF Bass Pro Tour will air on Discovery Network starting in July 2020 and Sportsman Channel in early 2021.
