Missouri TBF Junior & High School Trail Tournaments are two-person (team) events for Juniors (8th grade and under) and for High School (grades 7-12), and open to any TBF Junior or TBF Student Angler Federation (SAF) – affiliated school / high school club or unattached members. Anglers are required to have an active 2026 membership for the Junior or High School division that they fish. There are two-ways to advance. The top 10% of the field in the April 11 State Championship Tournament will advance to their respective National Championship. For the Missouri-TBF Trail Tournaments one team will advance for every 20 unique teams that compete across all of the Trail Tournaments.
TBF annually hosts the longest running and premier Junior and High School Angler events in the United States. Put your team on the path to advance by fishing the Missouri-TBF Junior & High School Fishing Trail in 2025/206.
