    Where would you like to see the Pro's fish?

    Was reading the thread about the Elite series tournament on the Sabine river and guys talking about the pro's and con's of having such an event on a challenging fishery. We all know places like Guntersville,Table Rock Pickwick and and Toledo Bend.. What are some other maybe "second tier" fisheries you'd like to see them go after?

    Out here in the West they have come to Clear Lake and the Delta. but i think they should consider an Elite series event on the Columbia River. Mid April should do it... I think it would make a great spectator show so they'd get great footage for the TV cameras and they'd likely see 15- 20 lb bags common. I know it's a long haul out here but the northwest is really itching to show the rest of the Bass world what we have out here...

    I would like to see them fish tougher non-spawn lakes in the middle of the summer............There are plenty of bodies of water around large enough with the facilities to hold an elite event....Not insanely tough but tough enough where you have guys competing on more than one or two patterns...

    Something like Dale Hollow in the middle of the summer would be cool...

    one event per month up to an august classic like the old days so they have widely varied conditions and would like to see them fish on some real tough bodies of water like sabine river or ohio river or lake mead occasionally. i dont think the sponsors will every let them do it cause they want lots of big fish caught with their equipment and products for marketing purposes.

    I think a cool place would be ray Roberts. I heard it is a very tough fishery but with potential of big bags. I did some road work in the area last summer and talked to some locals who said it was very difficult to show up and catch good quality fish but the locals who fish it regularly do well.

    They like to follow the spawn and trail it north and cherry pick the lakes....
    let them fish during some tough times.
    a good lake would be Lake of the Ozarks. Big but not so tough they would burn out on it.
    Also Broken Bow would be good.

    I don't wish Herrington on anyone.

    Dale Hollow would be interesting. Venice LA area would be interesting to watch.
