FLW Outdoors announced that the cancelled Table Rock FLW Tour Major, originally slated for next week, has indeed been rescheduled. The FLW Tour season will now end with a sixth event at Pickwick Lake in Florence, Ala. July 21-24.
Weigh-ins for days 1 and 2 will be held lakeside at McFarland Park. The final two weigh-ins will occur outdoors at the Florence Walmart Supercenter (3100 Hough Rd.).
Exactly half of the FLW Tour Major season will thus be contested on the Tennessee River (Chickamauga, Kentucky Lake and Pickwick).
FLW Outdoors operations-division president Kathy Fennel noted: "We're pleased to be heading to northern Alabama for the final Major of the season. Pickwick Lake is a fabulous fishery, and the Florence community fully embraces tournament bass fishing. Most importantly, we felt it was imperative to have six events determine Angler of the Year, especially with the $100,000 purse attached. We're disappointed we won't be visiting Table Rock and the city of Branson this season, but we plan to return in 2012."
The official practice period for Pickwick Lake will be extended by 1 day to include Wednesday, July 20, and the pretournament meeting will begin that day at 6:30 p.m. These changes were made to accommodate pros traveling from the Detroit River Central EverStart.
Additionally, the official beginning of the off-limits period for the Forrest Wood Cup at Lake Ouachita will be moved from July 25 to July 28 to provide qualifiers with a chance to prepractice.
