MISSION STATEMENT:
Region 8 was established to preserve and promote the sport of angling for
largemouth bass and smallmouth bass; to introduce youth to sport fishing; to
conserve water and other natural resources to work for an abundant, healthy and
self-sustaining bass fishery wherever a natural potential exists; and to support
the local, state and national agencies which conserve and manage the fresh water
sport fishery and other associated natural resources.
FORMAT: Region 8 is a FLW and VA Bass FEDERATION
organization. We are currently made up of 7 clubs and hold 5 TEAM tournaments a
year (counting the best 4 out of 5) to establish qualifying for the VA-BASS FALL
CLASSIC. The TOP TWENTY qualifiers represent Region 8 at the FALL CLASSIC.
