Annual Fishing Tournaments

With so many lakes, streams, and ponds, and of course, our famed St. Lawrence River, it’s no wonder St. Lawrence County hosts so many fishing derbies and tournaments.

One of our most notable is the Bassmaster Elite Series in Waddington and Major League Fishing Tournaments in Massena, along with a number of professional and amateur tournaments along the St. Lawrence Seaway.
