Check back for more prizes to come.

Entries should be posted within 2 weeks of the catch.

Entries can be upgraded.
For Example: If you catch a larger Perch but have one posted already no problem. Post the new perch and your points will be adjusted. You don't get points for both fish but the larger one will be the one counted.

Please check your pictures of fish on the lake if you can. If it's moved and doesn't show the full length of the fish, I'm sorry but I go with what shows up in the picture. Points are based on the photos. No limit on size of photos this year but please don't abuse this. If anyone has reason to contest a photo or entry, please do so via PM to me, do not challenge an entry on the open forum. If you notice any errors of questions about my tracking – again – shoot me a pm.


New Rule: Photos need to be posted to BFT - not links to another site. Photos must include the contest word and a clear shot of the ruler to be counted. Take extra pictures to be sure of getting one that shows clear evidence of your catch and the contest word!

It is a bit more complicated than that. Make sure to read the rules and regs carefully to avoid confusion.

I was just giving him some basic info if he missed all the major info and just saw my name too ask me about it ha ha ha.

Well the season started off pretty good so far for me so I'm happy. [cool]

As well you should text me more often so we can go back on the fishing hunt again.

so when you say:
Quote:3. Absolutely no baits or scents allowed.

But does that include WD40?

you talking about being added to the fly, right?
I assume the angler can stink as much as they want.

Tell ya, missing out on all the fun. Nothing like reaching into a bag of stinky carp minnows, or digging out the dough.
Comes to my cats - the stinkier the better! Though I do prefer shrimp, they make me hungry!

I wanna see some toothy Musky and Pike on a fly!

Have fun flingers.

Can you find WD-40 in the fly section of the fish shop? Nope!

But I do remember reading a post where the author took a pee on their fly to catch trout on the weber river.[crazy]

This should be fun. These contests are more like fishing scavenger hunts and can be a great learning experience. Please put me on the contestant list. I'm a novice when it comes to flyfishing, but I would like to give it a whirl. [cool]

Hope YOU know the WD40 business is a joke, or - intended to be anyway!

As for 'wee' flies, Um - one word. Asparagus?
sorry - never mind.

Go Dave! "Make it so"!
I'll send you a home-made wacky fly, or cap-spinner if you beat me to a toothy beast!

First real trip down to Yuba was a hell of a lot of fun.

You'll notice no steel leader... I double looped 25lb braid and that seemed to work pretty well. I only lost two fish that cut the line, landed three others and had quite a few biters.

BTW, taking a picture with a ruler, the BWO sign, and a flopping pile of teeth, all while on a pontoon boat, sucks the big one.
