Rancho Seco 1 fly 1 fish tourney

**Scott V** · 11-23-2009, 02:12 PM

On December 13th the Sunday, I will be hosting my 1 fly 1 fish tournament. The rules are simple, the biggest fish caught on 1 fly by length. You can have multiple of the same flies but the fly must be the exact same size, material, everything. No differences what so ever. You can only fish with the one fly, if you use a different type of fly and then switch back that is not allowed. There is no cost and the winner gets to hold on to the trophy til next year. Previous years winner is not allowed to win, therefore I can not win again. The size of the fish will be by length, you can catch and release or keep the fish if you want. This is an honest fisherman's event so please no one taint it by enlarging your catch size. Start fishing when you want on Sunday but bring measurements to be by 1:00. Anyone is can enter, the more the merrier.

I hope to see people there, it will be a zoo but that makes it more fun.

Fish on!

I gotta admit. as far as zoos go, it is pretty fun.

I'm in, I'll be in the 'Pearl.

I'd like to take on Gene's Wiggle Tail again, but I'm kind of a convert now myself. Those 2457's don't seem to drop anywhere near as many fish as the longer bodied 'bugger hooks do.
I know I could just tie my 'buggers shorter, but that would just leave me with, well, a wiggle tail.

Watch out for an odd color combination.

Prefishing at Seco is a waste of time unless they just planted. Just bring an intermediate line and you will do just fine LS. Last year I caught a 6 pound rainbow and they plant up to 9 pound for the derby.
