The Rotary Club of Farmville is hosting a charity bass fishing tournament from May 6 to May 13.

The entry fee for the Rotary Fishin’ Frenzy is $50, and all proceeds from the tournament will be funneled back into the community through the local non-profit organizations Rotary supports across central Virginia.

Anglers may fish in any publicly accessible waterway in Amelia, Appomattox, Buckingham, Cumberland, Charlotte, Lunenburg, Nottoway or Prince Edward counties. Fish may be caught from boats or paddle craft or on the bank or a dock.

Competitors may fish at any time during the week. This is a catch, photo, and release tournament hosted by the iAngler app. Anglers will need to create a profile on the app and have their smart phone or digital camera with them as they fish to upload photos.

The biggest five-bass stringer by length wins $300. Cash prizes will also awarded for second and third places and for the single biggest bass caught. Winners will be announced at the awards ceremony and social from 3 to 5 p.m. on May 13 at Wilck’s Lake Island in Farmville.
