The Coronavirus pulled the rug out from underneath our first annual Anything Goes classic fly fishing tournament back in April, but we've been sitting idly by waiting for a way to move forward. Our thought process is that people need this now more than ever, and even though the new modified version of the tournament is a far cry from its former glory, it's still going to be a blast! So, here's how it goes, we ditched the kick-off party, and are now breaking the tournament up into two heats. Heat one will take place on Saturday June 13th from 7am to 8pm, and the next heat will happen on Saturday June 20th with the same start and end time. Anglers who have registered will have to choose which day they want to fish as only one will count towards your individual score for the tournament. The tournament will no longer be based on team efforts, but rather on a every man and woman for themselves basis. Think of it as a social distancing tournament. We will provide rulers that anglers will take pictures of with fish. Then you email us the pictures or videos along with official measurements to be scored.
