Welcome to Litchfield County Worm & Jig Bass Club, founded in 1999 by fishing enthusiasts to promote the sport of team tournament bass fishing. Members can enjoy fishing our club tournament trail which consists of 11 tournaments. We hold tournaments on some of the best lakes and rivers in the Northeast. If you fish fifty percent of the trail, you can attend our yearly 2-day Club Classic at Lake Champlain in Ticonderoga, New York.

A vote was had in regards to allowing the use of Live, forward facing sonar during club tournaments. The vote was 9 for allowing its use, 15 against allowing it. Result, Live, forward facing sonar will not be allowed in 2025. This ban will be enforced by the honor system.
A discussion and vote was held regarding doing paper tournaments through the spawn period. A lively discussion ensued and ultimately the vote came out as 2 in favor, remainder opposed.
The next item that came up was: Allowing a substitute partner for only one event per season. That sub would not have to pay dues, and the points stay with the team as opposed to creating a new team. Vote was 17 in favor, and 4 against
A drop tournament was discussed and voted on. There will be no drop for the 2025 season. 19 in favor of no drop, 2 in favor of allowing a drop.
A discussion and vote regarding alternating dates for our annual 2-day event was had. After discussion, it was determined that one year would be on Labor Day weekend and the following year would be on an alternate date yet to be decided (Last weekend in June most likely). Vote was 7 against, and 11 in favor of this format.
In conjunction with the previous vote it was discussed about alternating the 2-day tournament waters. It was decided that we would fish the same body of water for 2 consecutive years (1 Labor Day / 1 late June) then fish another water body the following 2 years. The vote was 12 in favor of this idea with 2 opposed.
With no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
