Skill or Luck

Like other fantasy sports, fantasy fishing is a combination of luck and skill. There are definitely areas where you can use your knowledge of the anglers, the lakes, and the rules of the game to help your chances. However, with only seven tournaments in the season, and with huge bonuses for getting a pick in the top ten EXACTLY right, the fact is that FLW Tour Fantasy Fishing has a much greater element of luck than something like a fantasy baseball contest with daily transactions. In the fantasy baseball contest, you could run the season over and over, and the standing would be pretty close to the same each time. That's just not going to happen in FLW fantasy fishing. You could be the most knowledgeable person in the world, your picks could all be in the top thirty every tournament, and you could finish behind some novice who got first and second place right. With $2.3m on the line it's definitely worth doing what we can to help our chances though!
