steelhead tournament?

I heard something about a steelhead tournament next year. Teams comeing from all over the world and big cash prizes, any one else hear the same?

hey dime you in im in

If they televise this event, will the Marque proclaim

"The World's Greatest Fishermen take the challenge of catching Steelhead in the shortest,heaviest stocked river in the World".

p.s. - they should import some Pennslytucky Black Bears and chain them up near the boat ramps to increase the dramatics.

Well I thought it kinda strange myself, and the lady that told me said story works for the establishment that would be hosting said tournament. 100 2 person teams, 1000$ entry fee and total payout, Im gonna guess this will not happen you would need to be promoting something like that now.

comp. is not part of my fishing, but the excuses would be fun to hear.

That is what was told to me 1000$ entry and 100 teams with 100% payout. Im gonna be up there soon I will check into this more, she told me this 5 weeks or so ago and havent heard anymore on it so thought someone on here might have heard same.

They were trying for next year, closeing the river is that possible? How are they gonna keep everyone honest? Will boats be allowed? Are they gonna break the river into sections and who gets to fish where? I have questions also, was kinda hopeing the place that was talking about doing this would be on here also and shed some light, guess they are not. Was gonna head up today but ended up doing trail work all day.

maybe a rotation basis that allows guys to start from the top end of DSR and maybe allow 30 minutes per selected spots with guys going from 1 spot to the next... and maybe each team getting their first 30 minutes or maybe up to 2 hrs in a frsh spot that no one has fished yet. something to think about...

well, it's more than 2.5 miles of river access on both sides of the river. like i said IMO it would probably be the best case scenario for a contest. 100-200 people is no prblem for that area. there are 1600 meters in a mile. so in 2.5 miles there are 4000 meters. multiply 4000 by 2 since there are 2 sides of the river and that equals 8000. 8000 divided by 200 guys is a man every 40 meters which in reality isn't so bad. thats just about a half football field between each man on average. maybe we can even extend it to the tall bridge which would add about 1000 more meters of water, and besides, not too many people fish from the tall bridge down stream these days. that can maybe be some type of bonus zone or something... i know this sounds crazy but i think i'm on to something... but remeber i am an insane lunatic... remember also, if it was held in DSR, it could maybe also be turned in to a first come first serve fish where ever you want type of deal. if you have connections 3fan, keep me informed. i might be able to help...

Have no connections, but sounds like your on to something. Being a member of the afore mentioned location and if you have a little extra $$$ get that ball rolling. I will see what my friend says when I can get up there, keep working on it and if you make millions on the tv rights remember us little guys.

I believe they were looking at a time after the salmon run.

Right you are, Dime might have a point with his location.

They could have it during the salmon run. Close the dsr down for Mr Bush the senior like they do but then nobody would win cause he can't catch them when hes the only one fishing the lower river. But it shows if the readon is good enough they will close down the DSR.

Nice to meet you WC.

Speytards?
