10th Annual Rio Rodeo Announcements!
We have a couple of big announcements for the 10th Annual Rio Rodeo!
First, we have expanded the tournament fishing area. Instead of being limited to City Park and Bayou St. John, participants can now fish all waters of Jefferson and Orleans Parish!
Second, there will be (2) Divisions in the Rio Rodeo! In addition to Longest Rio, there will now be a division for Most Rios!
We are very excited about these changes for the 10th Annual Rio Rodeo! We will be making other announcements as we get closer to September 22nd! For more information about the 10th Annual Rio Rodeo, please follow the link below for the event page on Facebook:
