The Zumbro Valley Bassmasters were incorporated on
April 3, 1979
and joined the Minnesota B.A.S.S Federation in 1980. The club is a spin
off from of the original Hiawatha Land Bassmasters.
In 1983, the club dropped out of the federation briefly
and missed 3 State Tournament of Champions. Over the 24 years of state
competition the club has had its share of success.

The Zumbro Valley Bassmasters
are a extremely competitive group of fisherman. The talent in this
group is as good as it gets. And with the group working and teaching each
other and the next generation of Bass tournament competitors, the list at
the top of this page will continue to grow. All that can be said is STAY
TUNED...
