Forest City Bassmasters would like to thank Angling Sports (681 Highbury Ave. N, London, ON) for their long-term ongoing support for FCBM activities. From the early days of our club, Angling Sports has been there providing us everything from meeting space, club speaker opportunities, tournament support and an abundance of product and gift certificate donations for prizes and club activities. This year is no different with Angling Sports providing prizes for our Angler of the Year race (1st, 2nd, and 3rd place prizes) and prizes for winners of our tournaments. We encourage everyone to visit Angling Sports for their fishing needs, great selection, competitive pricing and helpful advice! THANK YOU ANGLING SPORTS!
