Washington D.C. - NOVA Bass Anglers, a Region 1, Virginia BASS Federation and BASS National Federation member is actively seeking sponsors and donations for the Third Annual Wounded Soldiers Fishing Tournament being held on the Potomac River on June 3, 2006.


NOVA Bass Anglers, supported by local Virginia and Maryland Bass Federation members and volunteers are hosting the event for service members injured in Iraq and Afghanistan and currently recovering at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, Washington D.C. The tournament will be held at the Columbia Island Marina in Arlington, Virginia.
