2027 COUNTY CLASH SERIES
One Trail. Three Battles. Endless Bragging Rights.
Three Minnesota counties. Three summer showdowns. One season-long kayak fishing series built for anglers who want to compete, explore new water, and have a whole lot of fun doing it.
The County Clash Series brings together three unique kayak bass fishing tournaments across Wright, Sherburne and Carver Counties. Each event puts you on a different group of Minnesota lakes, with a fresh challenge and another chance to prove you can find big bass when it counts.
THREE COUNTIES. THREE SHOTS AT GLORY.
WRIGHT COUNTY RUMBLE — JUNE
Start the season swinging. Pick your water, find your fish and see who comes out on top in Wright County.
SHERBURNE COUNTY SHOOTOUT — JULY
Summer is heating up—and so is the competition. It’s time to lock onto your best pattern and battle for bass in Sherburne County.
CARVER COUNTY BIG BASS BASH — SEPTEMBER
The final clash of the season. Fall is coming, bass are feeding, and Carver County sets the stage for one last shot at tournament glory.
YOUR KAYAK. YOUR WATER. YOUR CALL.
The County Clash Series is about more than fishing the same lake against the same anglers. These events reward decision-making, preparation and the ability to find fish. Study the county. Pick your lake. Build your game plan. Then launch your kayak and make it happen.
That means your tournament starts long before the first cast. Finding overlooked water, choosing the right lake and figuring out where the winning fish might be hiding are all part of the challenge.
Pick your battles—or fish them all.
Each event has payouts and prizes based the number of entrants
Fish one event. Fish two. Or take on the entire trail. No matter how you play it, expect good competition, great Minnesota water and plenty of trash talk at the finish.
