I have had a few members on here asking if there will be a BFT 2014 Utah Fly Fishing Contest this year.
Part of this thread is to gauge interest, maybe drum up some prizes, and possibly change a few things based on what happened last year.....
#1- Less than 8 fish species total. (I think only 2 contestants even caught 8 fish species)
I would be more for 6 species total, with 2 trout and 1 panfish required. Only 1 may be a non-sport fish.
#2- Allow fish measuring boards. (I tried one and it was great!)
#3- Disallow catfish entries. (Fly anglers almost never target them specifically.)
#4 - Have a shortened date structure. (Entries dropped off significantly by october and we are already well into April).
#5- Proposed entry fee to create a prize? (Entry money would be due within 1 week of registration though.)
If I think of more I will add them.
I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR OTHER SUGGESTIONS!
PLEASE POST THEM UP HERE!
