The Orange County High School Anglers, in affiliation with the Orange County High School Athletic Department, the Orange 4-H Clubs, The B.A.S.S. Federation Student Angler Federation and the Jr. B.A.S.S. Federation Nation - VA, is a group of young anglers who enjoy the thrill and competitiveness of tournament bass fishing. The group was organized in 1999 and was honored in 2004 as the Nation's Most Outstanding Jr. B.A.S.S. Federation Nation Chapter. The Chapter is recognized by the OCHS Athletic Department as an alternative team sports program and members meeting certain criteria receive their OC Athletic letter.
The Chapter consists of two age brackets - those at Locust Grove Middle School and Prospect Heights Middle School ages 11-14 and those at Orange County High School, ages 15-18. The Chapter also assists, Woods and Water editor, Chris McCotter in the building of Aqua Cribs and trees which are placed in Lake Anna to provide cover for spawning bass. They have taught "Hooked on Fishing" classes to children at Orange Elementary, assisted the Gordonsville Lions with their annual Walker Memorial Tournament- Kids Day at Lake Orange, as well as taken members of the Orange County Nursing Home on a fishing outing.
