WADDINGTON, N.Y. – The Evan Williams Bourbon Bassmaster Elite Series at St. Lawrence River scheduled for next week cleared a snag today that might have scuttled the event.
The Elite bass tournament was in jeopardy due to salvage operations of two sunken tugboats downstream of the Robert Moses Dam on the St. Lawrence. The project would have forced the closure of lock-and-dam gates and impeded access to much of the most productive stretches of the river.
