Welcome to the National Association of Professional River Anglers!

" The pursuit for the perfect bass!" ……..The mantra since our inception in 2006. NAPRA, the National Association of Professional River Anglers, is the largest pro wading circuit in the nation with anglers from Ohio, Michigan, West Virginia, NC, Virginia, and Kentucky vying to be the best angler in the nation!

Below are our 4 key areas of focus:

FISHING

The best river anglers in the nation compete to be the Wade War champion. Anglers compete in a yearly circuit with a chance to qualify for the most prestigious fishing tournament in the nation, the Wade War, in hopes to becoming the King of River angling! 

FUN

NAPRA anglers enjoy trying dozens of new lures, new spots, and bonding both on and off the water. The anglers use NAPRA as a release from the "real World" while testing their skills versus their other competitors.

FAMILY

In our 14 years we have seen each other grow, get married, have kids, setbacks, and successes while growing the competitive bond on the water and family atmosphere off the water. 

GIVING BACK

NAPRA gives back to veteran charities, outdoor conservation groups, local food banks and to kids knowing our gift of fishing needs to be passed on to keep the sport active, fun, and more than a sport but a tradition for generations to come!
