After a covid-delayed start, 2021 Angler of the Year Competition begins!

Jim Roode, record keeper of the club’s Angler of the Year contest, has announced the rules for this year’s tourney, which runs through year-end, Dec. 31. Pins and/or patches or plaques will be awarded for first, second and third place entries, to be presented at the club’s annual banquet in January. The first-place winner’s name will be placed on a permanent plaque. 

Here are the rules: 

  • Eligible Fish - Any Fish caught in the state of Colorado that is listed on the Colorado Master Anglers List.

  • Winner is the fish which is the largest percentage of a Colorado Master Anglers fish. (For example, Dan Barker was the club’s most recent winner, back in 2019, with a 19 ¾-inch white bass, 116.2 percent of the Colorado Master Angler criteria for that species.) 

  • All Colorado Fishing regulations apply. Snagging not allowed except if the fish was accidentally snagged in the course of normal angling using commonly accepted angling procedures and equipment.

  • Entries must be submitted to the record keeper (currently Jim) in writing within 30 days of the catch.      

  • Entries require picture or witness verification.

  • Fish caught on a Professional Guided trip do not qualify, and must be from publicly accessible water.

  • Entries will be allotted time at the Monthly Meeting to discuss their catch. 

  • Prizes will be awarded at the January club meeting.
