Mangrove Coast Fly Fishers/CCA Inaugural "Fall Fly Fishing Challenge"

MCFF and the Sarasota Chapter of CCA-Florida will hold a fly fishing only tournament out of the Ken Thompson Park boat ramp on City Island on Oct. 29. The format will be a catch-photo-release tournament similar to the successful Sarasota CCA Photo All-Release Challenge held every year in April.
The tournament will benefit the MCFF Scholarship Fund and CCA. An entry fee of $50 per angler will include registration, film and a BBQ following the tournament when awards will be presented. Non-anglers may attend the awards BBQ for $10. Anglers will be provided the use of a Polaroid camera and measuring board. Prizes will be awarded for redfish, snook trout and an overall Grand Champion. The awards BBQ will also feature a raffle with even more chances to win.
Please register early, so that we can plan accordingly. Tournament applications will be available at local fly and fishing tackle shops and area fly fishing clubs. Don't miss out on the fishing, fun and prizes. Who will be the "Grand Champion" fly fisher in Sarasota? Steve Gibson will co-chair the event with Capt. Rick Grassett. Contact Capt. Grassett at (941) 923-7799 or snookfin@aol.com or Gison at (941) 315-0617.


Rick Grassett told me that he already has about 30 in the entry list. If you're interested, I'd suggest you act promptly!
