Pre tournament announcement

In preparation for the tournament Saturday, a few friendly reminders:

- If you wish to compete for smallest fish, you MUST include a tape measure (measuring tape, ruler, what ever) in the shot. We will NOT be providing these, so please come prepared.

- Please make sure you are able to capture photos with date/time stamp, and the sticker from registration in frame. We presume most people will be using their mobile phones. "Count In" will consist of submitting your final fish count, and one of our tournament volunteers will be confirming the count via your time stamped photos. Please take only 1 photo per fish caught, to help us get through this process quickly.

- Check in starts at 1:00pm. We will be behind the Prospect Park War Memorial. Fishing begins at 2pm, and ends at 6pm. No fish caught before 2pm or after 6pm will be included in your final count. You must be checked in with your fish count validated by 6:30 to qualify for prizes. We recommend planning to end your fishing near the check in spot to make sure you get counted in.

- All fish must be caught on artificial flys/lures. No live bait, food items, etc. may be used.
