Day 1 of the FLW Series event on Lake Chickamauga, scheduled to start Thursday, has been canceled due to strong winds.
The National Weather Service issued a wind advisory for the Dayton, Tenn. region, forecasting 15- to 30-mph winds with gusts over 50 mph. There is also a small craft advisory in effect for the lake.
The tournament will resume Friday and Saturday with the full field fishing each day. The pro and co-angler winners will be determined by the cumulative weight of two days of competition instead of three.
The full field will take off from the Dayton Boat Dock, located at 175 Lakeshore St. in Dayton at 6:30 a.m. EDT Friday and Saturday. Weigh-ins will be held at the marina beginning at 2:30 p.m. each day.
