Major League Fishing (MLF), the world’s largest tournament-fishing organization, announced on Thursday, the 2027 Tackle Warehouse Pro Circuit Presented by MillerTech schedule, featuring six regular-season events and the no-entry-fee Tackle Warehouse Pro Circuit Championship. Local fishing fans will be very excited to see Chickamauga Lake made the list.

Hamilton County and Chickamauga Lake will play host to Stop 2 of the 2027 Tackle Warehouse Pro Circuit, March 5-7. Hosted by The Sports & Event Corporation and Bill Dance Signature Lakes, the event will showcase top professional anglers competing for the sport’s biggest payouts outside of the Bass Pro Tour, valuable points toward championship qualification, and opportunities to advance to REDCREST and the Bass Pro Tour.

The season will culminate Sept. 10-12 at the Pro Circuit Championship on the James River in Richmond, Virginia.

“Chickamauga Lake continues to be one of the most recognized fisheries in the country, and bringing the Tackle Warehouse Pro Circuit to the area is a great opportunity to showcase both the lake and the surrounding community,” said Dennis Tumlin, chief customer officer of the Tennessee Department of Tourist Development. “As part of the Bill Dance Signature Lakes program, Chickamauga Lake represents exactly what we want visitors to experience in Tennessee – outstanding fishing, strong local hospitality and communities that understand the value of outdoor recreation. We’re excited for the anglers, fans and media to experience it once again, firsthand.”

“The Sports & Events Corporation is proud to partner with Major League Fishing to bring the Tackle Warehouse Pro Circuit to Chattanooga in March 2027,” said Brant Donlon, vice president of Development, The Sports & Events Corporation. “Events of this caliber drive visitation, overnight stays, and significant economic impact while showcasing Hamilton County on a national stage. Chester Frost Park and Chickamauga Lake provide an exceptional setting for competitive fishing, and we are excited to welcome anglers, families, and fans from across the country to our community.”

Every day of competition will stream live on MLFNOW! at MajorLeagueFishing.com and through the MLF app, MyOutdoorTV (MOTV) and Rumble. All six regular-season events and the championship will also be televised nationally on VICE TV.

“The Tackle Warehouse Pro Circuit is one of the most important platforms in professional bass fishing,” said Kevin Hunt, senior tournament director for the Tackle Warehouse Pro Circuit. “It gives established pros and rising stars the opportunity to compete on outstanding fisheries, build their careers and earn their way to the Bass Pro Tour. The 2027 schedule has a strong mix of proven tournament venues and fisheries that will challenge every part of an angler’s game.”
