Tournament Bass & Walleye Lakes 2026 — BASS / MLF / FLW Venues

Last updated

20 of the highest-profile US tournament waters cross-referenced to their state special-regulation overlay. Each venue links to the water-body page where the actual 2026slot limit, bag override, and gear restriction live — because what wins a four-day event isn't the schedule, it's the rule that governs the day.

Schedules and circuit divisions shift year to year — we deliberately do not publish dates. Each entry below lists the typical season window plus a deep-link to the official BASS / MLF / FLW schedule page for current-year confirmation.

How to read this index

  • This is a pilot: 20 marquee venues across the BASS, MLF, and FLW (now MLF Toyota Series) circuits. Coverage expands with the underlying water-body index — see all special-regulation waters.
  • We list typical season windows and the recurring circuit (Elite Series, Bass Pro Tour, Pro Circuit, Toyota Series, Opens) — not current-year tournament dates. The official circuit schedule page (linked per section above) is canonical for current-year stops.
  • Each venue card deep-links to the water-body's special-regulation page, where the slot limit, bag override, and gear restriction live — those are the rules that actually count weights at scale, and they don't change with the schedule.
  • Reciprocity and boundary-water arrangements (Lake Texoma TX/OK, Lake Champlain NY/VT, Falcon TX/Mexico) require the right licence pair — see border-water reciprocity before launching.
