PORTLAND, OR — Kayak Fishing Northwest (KFNW) is proud to announce Snake River Manufacturing as the exclusive Title Sponsor for the 2026 season, with the tour officially rebranded as the Snake River Manufacturing Kayak Fishing Northwest Tournament Series.
This top-tier partnership grants Snake River Manufacturing naming rights to the entire series, including all five Tour Events across Oregon, Washington, and Idaho, and the season-ending Kayak Bass Classic.
“KFNW has always been about building a community of passionate, competitive anglers who care about the sport and the waters we fish,” said Marvin Forte, KFNW Director. “Snake River Manufacturing embodies that same commitment to quality, innovation, and the angling community. We couldn’t ask for a better partner to carry our name into 2026 and beyond.”
Snake River Manufacturing designs and builds innovative kayak trailers and accessories engineered with a modular, overlanding approach. Rooted in Idaho and trusted by anglers nationwide—from the Pacific Northwest to Texas and the Chesapeake Bay—the company is known for secure, efficient solutions that help anglers organize, protect, and transport their gear with confidence.
“Marvin and his team at Kayak Fishing Northwest inspired me to dive into building products for kayak anglers,” said Steve Carroll, Owner of Snake River Manufacturing. “Marvin’s professionalism and KFNW’s top-level tournament competition reignited my love for competitive kayak fishing. They will always have my support.”
As Title Sponsor, Snake River Manufacturing will receive exclusive naming rights across all KFNW platforms, lead logo placement on event media and materials, recognition on the KFNW Current Podcast, and opportunities at the awards for KFNW’s Tour Events.
In addition to the Tour and Classic, KFNW will run two grassroots series—the Spring Open and Summer Open (four events each)—designed to welcome new anglers and grow local participation across the region.
