- The challenge will be to see how many fish you can catch with a minimum amount of "Sink-N-Fool" baits.

- Creative rigging will be very important to do well in this contest.

- You are allowed the use of weighted hooks (jigs) or any kind of attached weight (Like bullet weights or split shot). This will include jig heads painted or lead and shakyhead jigs. The jig head must not have anything other then the lead on it, no skirts, feathers, or hair on it. You can also of course fish it weight-free.

- All fish must be caught on the supplied Fish-N-Fool Lures baits.

- Qualifying fish must be a minimum of 14" in length.

- In order for a fish to count towards a participants total, it must be photographed with the hook and bait still in it's mouth and with a measuring tape showing it's length, That is clearly visible. All or part of the bait must show in the photo. The bait must be intact enough to confirm that it is a Fish-N-Fool bait. No using a small piece of the bait on a jig or hook and saying it was a Fish-N-Fool bait. You must have at least 4" of the bait remaining


- The night before the tournament starts each angler signed up will be emailed a verification Catch Code, This code must be written down on a piece of 8 1/2" x11" card stock with a black magic marker. This Catch Code, must also be visible in all photos of qualifying fish. If your camera has a Date/Time stamp feature on it, use it. If it does not, on another piece of paper write the time and date each fish was caught. It must be shown in the photo in a black magic marker also. Mike and (or) I will be final judge on all fish entered to determine if the fish is legal. We will be looking for fish submitted more then once and if we think it has been we will disqualify that fish and possibly the angler.

- Supplied baits may be rigged any way that angler wishes as long as the 4" min bait size is met.

- All fish photos must be posted in the official photo log with accompanying report stating rigging method and technique/presentation utilized, and body of water the fish was caught in. Big fish entries should include a second photo of the angler holding the fish to be used for promos.

Im in aslong as I dont have to tell where im fishing. Will send a pm when this is confirmed


*Note from Mike - yes, part of the contest rules are that you do have to indicate where you caught your fish. This is a WDFW requirement as this is a fishing tournament and falls under their rules. You can post it as a secret lake so long as you provide the real lake name to Fish-N-Fool so they can record it on the report that has to be submitted to WDFW.

Ok is it as many fish as you can possibly catch and take pictures of on any given day or is it say the best of five?

*From Mike - per the rules:

•The challenge will be to see how many fish you can catch with a minimum amount of "Sink-N-Fool" baits.


You keep catching fish, taking pictures, and adding them to your photo catch record until the end of the tourney or you run out of bait, whichever comes first.

Fly Fishing is the art of attaching a fake bug to a line and relying on the appropriate manipulation of the rod to deceive the fish into eating a sharp steel hook covered with feathers and fur.
