NOTE: Anyone who has guided in the last 2 years, or is currently working as a guide, is eligible to participate in the tournament but in the Open Division only and does not need to meet tournament entry qualifications. Anyone may fish the Open Division as they will not be competing against the team event.

Any registration received after May 15th, 2024 will only be accepted with a $25 per person late fee and will be accepted until day before the tournament. If you do not know who will fish with you, register and send your entry fee before the deadline. You may fill in your team members later. If you register after dead line there is no shirt guarantee.
WEATHER: Due to the logistics of a tournament this size, it is almost impossible to reschedule due to weather. But, if the weather gets to a degree of being dangerous the tournament will be rescheduled at a later date. Please keep the tournament directors Steve Brown and Epi Garza’s phone numbers with you during the tournament hours. If we believe the weather could be a factor, we will be putting information on our phones with up to date information. If we do not answer, please take time to listen to the message. Please consider that the tournament is not just about fishing when decisions are made about cancelation and reschedule. Four hours of fishable weather will constitute a tournament.
****** If you register after deadline there is no guarantee that you will receive a T-shirt. ******
