The Fort Frances Canadian Bass Championship would like to see more local anglers participate.
Speaking to town councillors last night, chair Gord Watson says the field for this July's event is two-third's full, but most of the 81 teams are from out of the district.
"We still don't have the local support we're looking for," says Watson. "The prize structure was structured to intrigue more local anglers. It hasn't done so yet. We hope it will in the near future."
Tournament officials met with several town committees last week to discuss a host of requests for this year. Watson says they're working hard to ensure the tournament continues.
