New Rule: Instead of taking more time to take 2 measurements (Length and Girth) the winner will be determined by total length of the 2 fish. Much easier on th fish that way. So you just need one pic of the length with the tape measure in the pic.
One more thing, I also picked up some measuring tapes from the Fabric department at Walmart just in case some don't have them. If you would like to pick one up for your self, they are about a $1.50!! Good to have for future reference.
Come on you forum readers, it will be a blast. Remember have the prize money goes to a real good cause to help our rivers that we all use. It is a win win for everyone. Rookies get to learn and have a great time doing it and the Oldtimers get to have a blast showing some tricks to the newer fishermen. There is a lot of talk about how to stop certain methods of fishing, and I for one would agree with many that the beat way to do this is by some kind words and instruction. Anyhow I don't want to flog a dead horse, so I will leave it at that.
Meeting place will be at the old Cafe that is in the process of being turn down just on the other side of the Vedder Crossing Bridge at 6:30 am. The Fishing zone will be from Wilson Rd down to the fist turn in the River above the Keith Wilson Bridge. Reason for this smaller section of River, most of the cleaner fish are in this section and I wanted to keep most of the meat holes out of the equation.
Remember, and I know I don't need to say this, but while on the river during the fishing time (6:30am till 12 noon) be respectful of those fishing around you and those around you will be respectfull of you. This should be a fun event and everyone should be willing to help out where needed.
The meeting place after the fishing time has ended will be at the
Chilliwack Fish and Game Club House (48685 Chilliwack Lake Road). At that point we will make the Donation of half the prize money, and after the weights have been calculated for each team and the photo evidence has been verified, winners will be declared.
If I have left anything out, please inform me of it and I will clarify. Thanks.
