1 st Annual Blue Ridge Trout Unlimited Fall Fishing Tournament

Date: November 1 st through November 30

Rules: Open to all current BRTU members. All fish submitted for the tournament must be caught in public trout streams, or lakes.
  • In submitting photos for the tournament measure the fish, then take a picture. In the picture you do not need to include the measurement. We want to make sure the fish are treated well and responsibly.
All fish must be caught while fishing with the specific regulations for that particular body of water. For example, Delayed Harvest regulations on Delayed Harvest streams and lakes, Fly Fishing Only with Flies Only for those streams, and so forth. This is a virtual tournament based on a photo, including the measurement of the fish in the photo.

   2nd prize for the second largest trout caught,
   3rd prize for the smallest trout caught, and
   4th prize for the most colorful fish.

As fall is upon us, I encourage everyone to get out and enjoy the many lakes and streams provided for us to fish and explore. I wish everyone the best of luck, tight lines and fond memories.
