I appreciate you taking the iniciative to organize this tournament Bassattttic even if you are from Utah.
I will be there whether we are restricted to 1 or 2 rods or if we can use 5 rods. My personal preference is to allow 5 rods and let folks pay 10 extra dollars for the advantage of using a fish finder/flasher. I'm biased because I don't use a fish finder so if we are restricted to only one rod or two then maybe consider banning the fish finders. Either way my feelings won't be hurt.
I would also like to speak to the concerns that have been expressed regarding the low water level. Chesterfield is a large reservoir that is relatively deep and while low water will bunch fish up I don't believe that it can destroy the fishery.
Even if only half of the 54000 fish stocked each year survive that still leaves 27000 fish. To deplete the resource would require 250 anglers keeping a two fish limit every week. And that doesn't take into account holdovers from previous stockings.
Again, I look forward to the tournament.
