The Deep East Texas High School Fishing Series brings dozens of local communities and hundreds of high school student anglers together to compete and learn life lessons by developing angling skills, ethics, and care for our great natural resources.  The fishing series begins in September and ends in April. Five of the seven qualifying tournaments are used to determine championship qualifiers. Student Anglers are eligible from 5th through 12th grade.  There are two divisions:  High School (9th to 12th grade) and Junior (5th to 8th grade).
