The premier Freshwater Event in the USA is sponsored by the National Freshwater Spearfishing Association. The top competitors of this event over a consecutive 2-year period are chosen to represent the USA in the World Freshwater Spearfishing Event. It is held at a different lake every year, and every 4th year it is backed by the USOA as their National Tournament as well. Each location for Nationals is unique and challenging, offering a different species, and method / structure of spearfishing to be successful.

In the beautiful Fish Lake National Forest of Central Utah, sits a crystal clear gem sharing the same name. It’s home to an abundance of Kokanee, Lake Trout, Rainbow Trout, Splake, Suckers and Tiger Muskie. The current Womans World Record Tiger Muskie was shot there during one of our events by Maya Finlinson.

Located in Duchesne, UT the Starvation tournament is focused on Walleye and Carp, with an occasional trout mixed in. The lake is exceptionally clear pre-runoff and the big walleye are post spawn in relatively shallow conditions. It’s a fun venue with camping and comradery close at hand, but we ask spearos to respect the slow growing nature of these fish, and self-restrict shooting the big slow growing breeding females which can be over 30 years old. Studies show that Walleye over 26-1/4” are 99% female.
