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).

2. There will be two categories in which prizes will be awarded:

• Longest Rio Grande Cichlid 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.

• Entrants may only enter one fish in the longest fish division and no one fly fisher can win in both largest and most categories.

  • 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.

  • In the event of a tie for the greatest number of fish, the winner will be determined by blind draw.

3. Lunch and drinks provided for registered participants.
