Horby’s Invitational
Venue: Conley Lake Cabin - Lower Landing · Kinmount, Ontario
The Horby’s Invitational is the CLCC’s legendary team event — a two‑player showdown of strategy, luck, and the occasional questionable ruling. Since 1990, the Invitational has crowned some of the most iconic duos in CLCC history. Triple Crown winners — those who captured the Invitational, the Conley Lake Open, and the Bass Masters in the same year — are marked with an asterisk.
