New Melones event moved to Lake McClure
As definitive policies in regards to access to New Melones - for tournament organizations, continue to be uncertain, Angler's Press Outdoors via it's competition committee have made the decision to move the FPT Top-75 Western Tour season opener (scheduled for New Melones reservoir), to Lake McClure - going out of Barrett's Cove ramp.
Please note that the DATE (March 1st) will remain the same, only the location will change.
Please understand that this decision was not made in haste, but with careful thought, taking into consideration what would be best for ALL participants of the 2025 FPT Top-75 Western Tour.
Please check the Anglers Press Outdoors website (anglerspress.com) frequently for updated information regarding accommodations, as that platform is the official repository for all information regarding the Western Tour, and please feel free to call/email the Angler's Press offices if you have further questions.
Thank you for your patience....and we look forward to seeing all of you soon!
