Pairings will be drawn just prior to the start.

The Rules are Simple

  • As the name implies, one fly only. No bait, lures or droppers.

  • Each contestant will fish that fly ONLY. Lose the fly, you are out.
  • The fly may be cut off the leader and retied as needed.  Your partner must be notified that you are doing this.
  • A fly that is broken off on an obstruction may be retrieved and retied to the leader. Your partner must be notified that you are doing this.
  • A scored fish is one that is brought to hand and released; no “LDR’s”. Your partner must be notified that a fish has been landed and scored.
  • Each contestant is responsible for keeping his or her own score.
