THE VENUE

Lake Hamilton, Hot Springs, Arkansas

  • A world-class bass fishery spanning just under 8,000 surface acres - more fish per acre than any other lake in Arkansas.
  • Hot Springs is nestled in the Ouachita Mountains - home to naturally thermal spring waters, historic Bathhouse Row, and one of America's most characterful host cities.
  • September in Arkansas: bright sun, open water, ideal conditions - and the backdrop for the most prestigious bass fishing competition on the planet.
  • The event is Olympic village style - all nations together at the host hotel, morning launches, live leaderboards, and an atmosphere unlike anything in UK angling.
