After two unfortunate COVID cancellations in 2020 and 2021, the 2022 LOWA Conference is Friday and Saturday August 5 – 6 at The Hampton Inn & Suites, Thibodaux, Louisiana.

We are working with the Louisiana’s Cajun Bayou, Lafourche Parish, to finally get to experience all the area has to offer! They are eager to have us, and we cannot wait to visit.

Every year LOWA members gather on the first full weekend of August for fun, fishing and fellowship. The conference site moves around the State of Louisiana and the LOWA Board of Directors works closely with local Convention and Visitors Bureaus to ensure fun and educational activities for the two days of the conference. The conference is capped off with our Annual Awards Banquet.

• LOWA’s internal awards, the Excellence in Craft Awards
• Fish of the Year Awards
• Youth Journalism Contest Awards
• Youth Hunter Awards
• Youth Angler Awards
