Reminder, Rules AND CORRECTION about Thursday's tourney!

First, the Correction:  we originally told you 8 a.m. it's 9. Sorry about that. Hey, I'm old. 

Also, the rules of combat for the 8th annual event have changed from last year, when we fished Swift Ponds. Here they are:

• No Wading
• No Boating (park rules) 
• One - Pole
• One - Hook or Lure or Fly
• Limit - 4 Trout
• Stringer = 4 Trout measured (kept or released alive)
• Time Limit – 9:00am to 12:00 noon.
• Finally, All Kept or Released fish meant to enter the derby must be officially measured and witnessed by another club member who needs to legibly write the length of the fish on a card along with their initial. 

The First Prize Winner, the angler with the longest total string of 4 fish, gets $50 cash and her or his name on a handsome 19 1/4-inch revolving trophy, and you keep it until it's presented to the 2020 winner. Second prize is $25.

Larimer Count Parks and Open Space levies an admission fee at Flatiron. A few of us with annual passes will meet in the southeast corner of the K Mart parking lot and can give you a ride through the gate. We'll be leaving for Flatiron no later than 8:30 a.m., so be there before then or get out your purse.
