WHAT:
The Major League Fishing (MLF) Phoenix Bass Fishing League (BFL) Presented by T-H Marine Choo Choo division tournament on Lake Guntersville and Cowboy division tournament on Toledo Bend Reservoir, both scheduled for Saturday, Jan. 24, have been postponed due to inclement weather forecasted across the region that could make travel difficult and potentially hazardous due to accumulating snow and ice.
NOTES:
The tournaments have been rescheduled.
The Cowboy division tournament on Toledo Bend Reservoir has been rescheduled to Sunday, Feb. 22. and will be the second event of a back-to-back BFL Cowboy division tournament weekend in Zwolle, Louisiana. Anglers will launch from San Miguel Park in Zwolle, Louisiana, that weekend.
