Our History & Pictures

In 1991 a group of individuals decided to form a club for competetive bass fishing. 
It was called VALLEY BASS TRAIL.  
John Terhuurne was the first President, followed by Rick Klatt, Frank Ramsay, and finally Kim Pigeon.  Initially there were 20 two-person teams increasing to 30 teams, and in 2003 there were only 10 teams with several "walk-on" teams at each tournament.   Each year 4 one-day tournaments are scheduled with each team being allowed a 6 fish limit for the day (note: changed to 5 fish limit for 2004).  
 

Big Fish winners for each year are as follows:
