National Crappie League’s Division 1 Tournament Heads to Truman Lake, Missouri

The National Crappie League (NCL) is excited to announce its upcoming Division 1 tournament at Truman Lake, Missouri, on August 12, 2023. This one-day event, hosted in the beautiful city of Clinton, offers competitors the chance to fish for cash, prizes, and a qualifying spot in the NCL National Championship.

The tournament guarantees a 100% payback, with a minimum payback of $10,000. The first and second Big Fish prizes are set at $700 and $300 respectively. This event is open to anglers who have not earned $5,000 or more in national crappie tournaments in the previous two years or have not placed in the top 5 of major pro division tournaments. Fishing guides are not eligible to enter.

Truman Lake is renowned for its abundant crappie population and the quality of fish has improved significantly in recent years. Anglers can expect good weights at this tournament, with the lake’s visible and submerged timber, stumps, and stake beds providing plenty of crappie cover.
