General Rules

  • Only  trout will count in this qualifier and for every fish caught,  regardless of size, the angler will be awarded with one point.
  • The fishing area will be divided into 2, 3 or 4 equal zones. The number of zones will be determined by number of entrants. 
  • Fishing will be divided into four 60 minute sessions with individual scoring for each session.  The results from each will be added to the final score.  The angler with the least number of points will be the winner.
  • Competitors who don’t catch will be awarded penalty points for each round with no fish.  The penalty points are determined by the total number of anglers in the zone and the number who do not catch.
