Major League Fishing (MLF), the world’s largest tournament-fishing organization, announced Thursday the schedule for the 2022 Tackle Warehouse Pro Circuit at a live press event held at the International Convention of Allied Sportfishing Trades (ICAST) tradeshow in Orlando, Florida.
The Harris Chain of Lakes was selected to be the second stop of the season for professional bass fishing’s premier five-fish limit circuit. The event, hosted by Visit Lake County, Florida, will take place March 13-16, 2022 in Leesburg, Florida.
“We’re so excited to welcome back the MLF Tackle Warehouse Pro Circuit to Lake County and the Harris Chain of Lakes” said Steven Clenney, interim director of Visit Lake. “There’s no doubt we have some of the best fishing in the nation, and events like these remind us how lucky we are to call this place home. We love showcasing Lake County to the anglers who seek us out as a top fishing destination as well as their families, fans and visitors who explore all that the area has to offer while they’re here.”
The 27th season of the MLF Tackle Warehouse Pro Circuit (formerly FLW Tour) will feature six regular-season stops showcasing the best anglers in the world competing for thousands of dollars across the best bass fisheries in the United States. The 2022 season will culminate with the Tackle Warehouse Pro Circuit TITLE, in which 50 anglers will qualify – the top 48 finishers in the Pro Circuit Angler of the Year standings along with the reigning 2021 TITLE Champion and the 2021 Angler of the Year.
