Lake MacBride was the venue of the 2020 Iowa High School Team Championship, presented by Scheels in Cedar Falls. Twenty-Six boats from fourteen different schools showed up to take home over $1,500 worth of fishing gear. The event was hosted by Hot Rod Baits Bass Series, and sponsored by Scheels, The Rod Glove, Cliff Keen Athletics, Quantum Rods and Reels and Hot Rod Baits. This event ended up being the BIGGEST youth bass tournament in the state of Iowa for 2020!
Lake Mac Bride was in great condition for the tournament, the water had good clarity and the bite was good the week before the event. However, Mother Nature showed up Friday with 20+ mph winds that kept going the day of the event, making fishing a little more challenging for the kids. Even in the difficult conditions 44 bass were brought to the scale. many techniques worked throughout the day for the kids, as many bolstered their success at the weigh-in station. Many of those fish were in 1.00-1.50 pound range but there were also four bass that weighed right at or over the 3.00 pound mark. As with any bass tournament held across the nation some teams were able to figure out the mystery and walk away the trophies and fishing gear. The top five individual boats received trophies and prizes as well as the school champion. The school champion is the total of 2 boats from the same school district.
