CKA Tournament 3 Presented by Carver Covers
April 17, 2021
W. Kerr Scott Reservoir, NC
W. Scott Kerr was a new lake to the CKA Trail in 2018 and this will be our third visit there, but our first for the spring bite.
W. Scott Kerr is located in the northwest Piedmont, near Wilkesboro. It is one of 4 Piedmont lakes run by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (this means additional regulations apply – see website below). There are (7) eligible launches (listed below). There is also camping and rental cabins, which can be found at this link.
Carver Covers is sponsoring this event and we will have a Custom Carver Covers Raffle at this event! You can buy as many tickets as you want and sell as many as you can to help build the Tournament of Champions purse!
