If you want to have fun, come on February 08 for the Trout Rodeo. There are prizes for the winners of both categories (fly and conventional) and you can compete individually and as a team. All Catch and Release and this is scored in total inches.
This will be the 4th time for this catch-and-release event in the Owens Valley. Depending on the weather, you could be fishing from the Upper Owens to Lone Pine! Same rules as before so bring your friends, club members, and anyone else who likes a fun competition. As always, the special Beverage glasses go to the winning team members and individuals in both the fly and conventional classes.
