Dobyns-backed Western circuit to launch in '13 8/7/2012
Some details of the long-rumored new Western circuit backed by Gary Dobyns, the region's all-time leading money-winner, were revealed in a press release today. The circuit, dubbed Outdoor Heritage, will feature Northern and Southern pro-am divisions, along with a team division conducted at five Northern California venues.
In addition to Dobyns, the investment group backing the project includes Dobyns' son Richard, Tony Franceschi, Roderick Lee, Jim Markham and Craig Gottwals.
"Flat out, this circuit will attract the best of the best," said Dobyns. "This is just the beginning – our vision is to build upon this and deliver an elite-level circuit for the West."
Said Franceschi: "We’ve been offered a wide variety of tournaments in the past, but never one that provided anglers the opportunity to chase the dream of making a living fishing out West. Our plan is to build this organization so that in the future, whether you are just starting out or have been competing for years, there will be the opportunity to make your dreams a reality."
Outdoor Heritage will provide media coverage of all of its circuits, including TV for the pro-ams. Additional details, including sponsorship and payout, will be announced later.
Entry fees are set at $1,200/$400 for the pro-ams and $250 for the team events. To see a video clip, which mentions the organization's plans to expand through the Pacific Northwest and into Texas over a 3-year period, click here.

Awesome! Lets bring KVD out and watch him get skunked in our house!
Get your kids hooked on fishing, and they'll never have any money for drugs or alcohol.
Re: New series - Outdoor Heritage
I hope that in year 5 or 6 or 7 it makes it to Wisconsin! I don't think that should be a problem though considering the people running it actually care about the sport and have been in the position of the contestants themselves. like the name says, its their heritage.
