The second of three tournaments in the Squam Canoe Classic: Bass Fishing Tournament Series is less than a month away! Load up the canoe, kayak, float tube or any style of human-powered watercraft and head out on Saturday, July 23^rd for a day of timeless moments on the water.

Seasoned pros alongside most amateur anglers are going to love this event. The Squam Lakes Association is excited to host our Eighth Annual Squam Canoe Classic, a very approachable bass tournament experience. This fishing series is all about the love of the lake, having a great time on the water, going after the big one, and good-natured sportsmanship. It is an opportunity to test your skills against the fish and each other, and a laid-back way to introduce beginners to the art and pleasure of recreational fishing. Quietly ease up to that favorite fishing hole and use all your skill and cunning to hook yourself a winner!

This tournament is open to any vessel completely powered by human effort. It is a catch and immediate release tournament. Anglers document their catch by measuring and taking a photo and then release the fish back into the deep where the legend can swim on. Participants must fish with lead-free tackle.

This year we are continuing our partnership with Eastern Adaptive Sports (EAS) to provide a quiet water fishing experience, allowing adaptive anglers the opportunity to fully participate in the event. For individuals in need of adaptive access, please indicate this requirement upon registration.  Eastern Adaptive Sports will provide boat access for participants.
