Lake Berryessa 'Fly Only' Tournament April 27,2024

[Ryan]

Just wanted to let everyone know I'll be throwing a first of it's kind fly fishing tournament on lake Berryessa. I know Bass n Fly does it's thing, but this will be different being on a lake. Will be much easier fishing and I expect all boats to limit out!

I won't be fishing it, and nobody is making any money off this, we just want to throw a great event for the bass fly community, where everyone has a blast and catches a bunch of nice fish.

Picked Saturday, April 27'th for being the prime of the prime as far as timing goes.

We might have a few first-time tournament goers. My job will be to help walk through and "guide" those who are new to the whole tournament process. Can be a good learning opportunity. I really just want to help share this fun I've been having in tournaments the last few years!

The sponsor list of companies contributing gear kind of blows my mind!

I've got sign-ups and rules on my website at www.flyfishcnv.com/tournament

If interested, please help spread the word! And feel free to contact me with any questions.

Edit: We got the permit, we are all legal and good to go!

Excellent Idea! I am in. Was up there yesterday and that place is about to explode. Weather permitting it should shape up really well for flyfishing end of April. Is it OK to fish solo? Highly doubtful I will have a partner...

[MThompson]

Is it $220 or $250 day of the event? Website is a little confusing?

[Ryan]

Great stuff to hear!!! I'll have to fix the mistake. It is $200 if you sign up before the tournament with venmo payment. Or $220 to pay cash the morning of the tournament.

Lake is at 440ft kind of rare for Berryessa.

Great timing, naturally and this is one of the top reservoirs for bass in California.

It should be a wonderful event for all.

The lake is huge so don't worry about it being crowed.
