Get Ready For Fishing!

2012 Rules and Regulations

The Competition Subcommittee has reviewed the input from the angling community and after detailed in-depth analysis of the Main Injector shutdown guidelines, solunar tables, calendar events and the detailed predictions of the expected pond production statistics, the following dates have been decided:

Spring Open Segment

This open event is scheduled to begin on April 1st and run until May 25th at any pond on site. This is an indivdual fishing event and the standings will be set by the weight of the single biggest fish caught during the angling period. As usual, the ponds will be available for fishing from sunrise to sunset during working days. A picture of each fish along with the angler should be provided along with a photo verification of the weight of the fish. Based on the "Bridgett Rule" instituted in 2010, any type of fish species will be counted towards the title. As usual, the prestigious "pass around" trophy will be awarded to the angler with the largest fish at a pizza party in early June.

No entry fee this year since we will use the pass around trophy
