Gainesville prepares to host FLW Tour fishing tournament on Lake Lanier
0719FLW 0003
Jason Johnson casts his line during the FLW Tour’s Mississippi River event in La Crosse, Wis., in May.
Lake Lanier is about to play host to the big boys of competitive bass fishing as Fishing League Worldwide comes to town. The FLW Tour will make the third stop of its seven-tournament regular season from March 8-11 at Laurel Park, with both professionals and co-anglers taking part in the event. Four Hall County residents will be part of the field, with some saying the heavy rains and rising lake level have made a major impact on how the competition will play out.
