Beautiful 30's are plentiful - expect hard-fighting virgin fish to give you the thrill of a lifetime.
The magnificent St. Lawrence River in northern New York State will be the site for the Carp Angling World Championship in late September 2011.
The St. Lawrence is considered one of the most prestigious carp fisheries in the world. Prolific and virgin trophy-size fish attract the best carp anglers from America and foreign lands to its vast-deep waters.
Forming a natural boundary with the United States and Canada, the St. Lawrence is the freshwater watershed of the Great Lakes to the Atlantic Ocean.
The tournament course is expected to be approximately 35 miles (56.3 km) between the river communities of Ogdensburg and Massena NY.
The St. Lawrence Seaway is the cargo corridor between the Atlantic Ocean and the major ports of the Great Lakes. These huge vessels make their way through the deep channel within eyesight of your swim.
Over 200 world-class carp anglers from around the globe are expected to compete in this multi-day continuous-hour tournament. The tournament will be a two-person team format.
The warm hospitality of the local people is known to those who have visited the St. Lawrence River region before. And, CARP Tournament Series in partnership with host – the St. Lawrence County Chamber of Commerce – are putting together a tremendous social and entertainment program for the registered participants.
This St. Lawrence competition is ratified by the International Carp Fishing Association affording the Carp Angling World Championship among the highest of standards in carp fishing. ICFA is an alliance of 28 countries forming the largest carp fishing organization in the world.
