Benefit Trout TournamentSaturday, March 28, 2020
3 Divisions: NOVICE INTERMEDIATE PROFESSIONAL
• Lilleys’ Landing will provide fish rulers to be returned after the contest. We will also provide a small notepad and pen to record each measurement for each individual.
• EACH TROUT caught will be scored. Note: All trout regardless of species or legality. In other words, brown trout less than 20 inches will be scored, as well as rainbow trout caught in the trophy area that measure between 12 and 20 inches.
• All trout MUST be released immediately after being measured.• Scoring is by measuring each trout caught by placing the fish in the measuring tray with the
nose against the head of the rule. You may pinch and /or swing the tail.
• Length will be scored up to the half-inch. For example, if a trout is 14-1/8th inch, it’s scored at 14.5 inches.
• Each measurement will be written down in the notepad provided with the initial R for rainbow or B for brown trout.
• At “weigh-in,” notepads will be turned in for tally. All measurements will be added up by the tournament director, and a total length will be the angler’s final score.
• Ties will be broken by the longest fish, second longest and so on.
• DIVISIONS: Participants sign up for the division that best fits your fishing skill level.
• The top finisher of the Novice and Intermediate divisions must move up one division for the following year’s tournament.
• Prizes will be given to the top three finishers in each division. First place in each division will receive a plaque. All proceeds from entries and boat rentals will go to CAM.
• All contestants will fish from a boat OR from the Lilleys’ Landing dock. No wading will be allowed.
• There is no limit to how many anglers can fish out of a boat since it is an individual contest, and each angler will measure and score his or her own trout. Each boat will have at least one measurement ruler.
• No chumming will be allowed.
This is an artificial-only fishing tournament, meaning no live bait or scented or soft plastic baits will be allowed. All Missouri Department of Conservation rules apply.
