After some very long meetings and discussions surrounding Fish for Freedom 2025, our Fish for Freedom committee and Twin Lakes Trail Blazers, have decided we will be postponing Fish for Freedom this year, 2025. We will return for August 14&15 2026. We are hoping to make some changes that will benefit not only our fisheries, but also the tournament itself. 

This was not an easy decision, so please be kind in your comments. We have explored every option available. This tournament is very near and dear to me (Josie). I have poured my heart and soul into this tournament over the last 10 years. I have been fishing or volunteering at this tournament for over 20 years! But at our last club meeting the option to take a year off was voted on and approved. We want to take a long look at the way this tournament is being run, and what changes can be implemented. 

We want to thank our sponsors for always stepping up and giving us support. As well as a special thanks to all the volunteers, we have no paid volunteers at this tournament, and rain or shine they always show up and give us their all, to make sure this tournament would keep rolling. 

We are so very grateful to all our participants that come back every year with enthusiasm! You are the reason we have been pushing so hard to hang in there. I look forward to what the future will hold and what we can implement to make this tournament what it should be. I see great things for it!

Note: Any participants that won free entries last year will maintain those for the 2026 tournament. 

We look forward to seeing all of you in 2026! 

Fish for Freedom Co-Chairs,

Josie FitzPatrick & Quentin Salmond

Twin Lakes Trail Blazers President,
