FLW Outdoors will return to Lewisville Lake on March 8 to hold a one-day qualifying tournament in the Wal-Mart Bass Fishing League series. Up to 400 anglers will split a total prize purse of $45,000 in the event.
The Lewisville tournament will be the second of four one-day qualifiers held in the Texas-based “Cowboy Division” of the BFL, the nation’s most affordable, close-to-home weekend tournament circuit for bass anglers.
