About this Event
1. This tournament is open to all fly-fishing aficionados. (One of the best ways to learn about all things fly fishing is to join your local fly-fishing club. If you are not a member of a club, we can get you the information on how to join one in your area).

Longest Rio Caught wins top prize and bragging rights for the year. First place prize is a commemorative plaque.
Most Rios Caught by a fly fisher. First place prize is a commemorative plaque.

In the event of a tie for the longest fish, the award will go to the fish with the largest girth measurement taken at the front of the pectoral fins.
