Seats go fast for this event and they have told me that only six slots are left even as we speak.(Or read in this case.) You can still make reservations for the banquet if you just want Last year some of the prizes included some nice custom made fly-rods, but the real reason to enter is for fish enhancement. There will also be silent auction as well as the traditional oral auction fundraiser also to be held that evening at the Red Lion. For your money you will also receive a continental breakfast, as well as the banquet dinner to be held at that evening at the Red Lion Hotel here in Medford, Or.
I personally have heard of many 30 inch fish being caught this year--so WATCH OUT!! Last years winner took top honors with a mere 23 inches as the top fish. The tourney is catch and release, barbless fly,and conventional gear only. This is a flyfishing tournament, and prizes are awarded in various categorys, with the top prize going for largest Steelhead and most inches of fish. Boats consist of two fishermen and a rower,of which many are local guides, volunteers and club members.
This year the event is scheduled for October 29th, which is a Saturday, and costs $150.00 per contestant. This annual event, which is put on by the Rogue Flyfishers helps to raise money for the club, which in turn uses the funds for fish, fishing enhancement, and other projects that help support the fish of the Rogue basin. If you are the semi-competitive type and you are looking for a good cause then you owe it to yourself to sign up for this years Rogue River Steelhead tournament.
