There will also be another year long tournament for trout series/trail. It will consist of 6 tournaments. This will be based on a points system. You will get 5 points just for showing up and points for placement will be based on total LENGTH of 4 trout. At the end of the trail/series there will be prizes given out. Results will be posted after each tournament. At the end of the tournament, you will drop your lowest score. This tournament will cost a one time fee of $20 to allow more payout to multiple placements. If you do the membership you will automatically be in the trout series.

PFDs (lifejackets) must be worn at all times if fishing in the tournament. If you are seen without the PFD on you will be disqualified. If you need to remove clothing, please try to move to shallow water before taking off PFD to change clothes then please put it back on before returning to fishing. 

This year we will not be doing the wrist band but going to an ID card that you will get a number on the day of the tournament. This card will need to be visible when you take the picture of your fish.

For ALL tournaments you must have a solid fixed measuring board or a folding board (one fold only). NO SLIDING boards will be allowed for tournaments. Your fish must be 12" or bigger to be eligible to go towards your total length.

Any fish longer than your board will only be counted for the length of your board so please try and have a 30" board or bigger. All fish length can be either pinch or no pinch your choice. Also length will be measured by ¼” min (not 1/8”). The length will not be rounded up but rounded down to the nearest ¼”. The mouth of the fish must be closed also with nothing in the mouth that might obstruct it from being closed. The picture that will be used for measurement will have to show the whole fish with mouth shut and tail. If the mouth is not closed that Is an automatic deduction of 1 inch off that fish or disqualification decision is up to the judges. This rule is for all fish.
