2026 Juniors At Worlds Spearfishing (JAWS)

Fish Lake

Youth divers from all across the country gather to spearfish a pristine alpine lake framed by aspens and pines while pursuing lake trout, splake, perch, and tiger muskie. Cool 60–70°F water and 15–30 ft visibility reward skilled, patient divers. This is the perfect lake to remove invasive species that are easy for Juniors to spear.
