2019 Tournament Results

We had 91 teams brave the conditions on August 17 th for the 24th annual Fish for Freedom event. Although the weather did not cooperate, the women came “dressed for the occasion” and managed to fish through a rather windy day!
There was a total of 214 fish caught, with the largest measuring in at 72.40 centimeters, caught by our winning team of Heather West and Deb Jeffers. Although they don’t count as a tournament fish there were 8 sturgeons caught, the biggest one being approximately 35 lbs.

Conditions were tough this year due to the quality of water in the river. Don’t let that deter you as 2020 is a new season and we are planning for a great 25th Silver Anniversary Annual Fish For Freedom tournament!
