WADE WAR 2026
NEWELL THREE PEATS!
NAPRA NEWS: Newell Three-peats Wade War!!
Ok, this is getting a little much. Aaron Newell yet again overcame a slow start with fog, mist, and just yuckiness to claim the 2026 Wade War. He is the first NAPRA angler to win 3 in a row and is quickly getting his face chiseled on the Mount Rushmore of NAPRA. The event, presented by Lee's Famous Recipe Chicken - Miami Valley, Fisherman's Headquarters, Smales Pretzel Bakery, and Pradco Outdoor Brands, was tough on the anglers but all in all, relatively a good day. With the boosted points for the Wade War, the race for AOY is surely tightening up.
