On March 5-8, Mound native Andy Young fished at Lake Tahoe in the first event of the Walmart FLW (Fishing League Worldwide) Tour. This tour includes 154 top professional bass-fishers and will include six tournaments running through the end of June.

This, his first season on the FLW Tour, is the next step after Young quit his job in December to pursue professional fishing full-time.
