One of AFTCO’s main initiatives as they continue their expansion into the freshwater market is conservation.  Maintaining and cleaning up natural resources is imperative to ensuring our fisheries are around for years to come.  As young adults, college anglers will witness the impact made from previous generations but can also leave a lasting impression for future generations.

From the Bank Bag Program to the AFTCO Bass Bus Live Release Boat, AFTCO is dedicating a number of resources to conservation.  Each of these programs will be seen in action at various ACA events throughout 2019 and 2020.  

The Bass Pro Shops Collegiate Bass Fishing Series is the largest collegiate bass fishing series in the nation. The series is operated by the Association of Collegiate Anglers, which is an organization designed to provide long-term sustained growth within collegiate angling through assistance with forming institutionally recognized clubs, serving as a sanctioning body and resource for clubs, and providing a unified voice for collegiate anglers. The Association of Collegiate Anglers also provides benefits for school clubs including liability insurance, discount purchase programs, no entry fee tournament opportunities, media exposure, and much more!

In addition to holding the largest events in college fishing the staff of the series works with college anglers to start their own events, learn more about the fishing industry, receive discounts from numerous companies and more.  

The Collegiate Bass Fishing series helps college students nationwide create fishing clubs, host fishing events, compete on a nationally televised stage as well as work with numerous companies nationwide.
