Ottawa Valley South Bassmasters consists of a group of anglers who are enthusiastic about fishing. The Chapter membership ranges from the beginner to the seasoned professional angler, and the young, to the young at heart. We hold monthly meetings from October to May, and at our meetings, we conduct Chapter general business, discussions on upcoming Chapter projects and community activities, and as well provide presentations on various fishing techniques to the Chapter members. During the annual bass season, the OVSB conducts a "members only" tournaments series, consisting of five events using the BASS Federation boater/co-angler format, in pursuit of determining the OVSB Angler of the Year recipient. The boater/co-angler pairing are different for each tournament. The boat pairing for each tournament is determined by a draw before the first tournament and you will not fish with the same member twice in the same year.
This format will afford every member the opportunity to gain real on the water exposure to many different bass angling techniques and decrease the overall learning curve in your pursuit in bass angling.
Potential new members are encouraged to attend the off season meetings from October to May to get more information. Interested new members must attend at least two meetings in order to be eligible for membership and as per our Chapter bylaw, they must be voted in by the current membership.
A full copy of the Chapter bylaws will be made available upon joining. If a new member decides to join between October to December, they will not be considered a full member until the following calendar year but can participate in the meetings if they choose to. They will be eligible to vote on any club business once they become a full member.
