SAF received notification from the US Army Corps of Engineers that the Wilson lock maintenance at Florence, Alabama that was scheduled to be completed before the High School Fishing World Finals and the National Championship has been extended. So, from 6am to 4:30pm daily the entire month of June they will NOT be locking any traffic recreational nor commercial between Pickwick and Wilson during those hours.

Due to this news, which is beyond our control, we’ve had to make an adjustment from years past and NO locking out of Pickwick Lake will be allowed.

Just wanted to keep everyone informed so no one practices thinking they can lock through.

Check out the Updated Fact Sheet.

Also, here’s an updated list of Host Hotels for the event.

All National Championship qualified anglers MUST register for the High School Fishing World Finals!

We will pull National Championship qualified anglers from that entry list so you only have to register once.
