It’s tournament time in Tennessee! September 27th and 28th are the dates for the south’s premier trout tournament.

Our 10th annual fall event, sponsored by the cities of Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg and Sevierville, as well as Sevier County and Bass Pro Shops features 20 miles of streams stocked with over 5000 trout including 1500 in the 3lb to 9 lb class.

This bi-annual event draws anglers from all over the country to the Smokies for a shot at a world class rainbow. Prizes range from hotel accommodations, restaurant gift certificates, amusement passes, trophies, fishing equipment, and cash! A $40 entry fee is all it takes to join in the fun!

Winners are determined by total weight of a five-fish-limit per day in four divisions: local youth and adult, tourist youth and adult. Each division has 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place and prizes are awarded for the largest and smallest fish. Proceeds benefit the Smoky Mountain Boys and Girls Club.
