High School Fishing State Champions advance to a Conference Championship, in conjunction with an FLW College Fishing Conference Championship this fall. Boats are provided upon request. Conference Champions receive trophies, commemorative jerseys and advance to the National Championship for the chance to win a $10,000 scholarship ($5,000 per team member). Teams participating in the conference championships and National Championship also receive a travel allowance to help offset their expenses.
