Dale Hollow Lake Spring Fishing Tournament Dates Announced

The Dale Hollow Fishing Tournament will return to Byrdstown on the weekend of April 23rd.

Mayor Sam Gibson said the community is excited to welcome back the two-person, two-day tournament.

“We usually have a real good turnout for the spring tournament,” Gibson said. “We had like 105, 110 boats last year. By far the biggest turnout we’ve ever had and had a real good tournament. We’re hoping to do that again this year.”

Gibson said the competition serves as a big economic driver for the town. Gibson said teams with the highest number of fish caught will have a chance for the grand cash prize.

Gibson said more details are to come as the Board of Aldermen just recently approved the tournament date.
