esCARPment

Info from the 2019 esCARPment tournament.

Sorry for the delay, I was trying to get more pictures. It was a good time and the third year I was involved. A really good bunch of guys, lots of fun. The fishing locations were all over the area, when you registered you got a map of allowed locations. Scouting ahead of time was allowed. All fish released unharmed of course. You got a button that had to be in the picture of the fish with a verified scale. Everyone met on that Friday, got their buttons, got any more info and just enjoyed some stories. Then you went and fished the following day. This allowed everyone to spread out to all the different areas to fish. Lots of good prizes, well worth the entry fee, I think everyone made out well. Stay tuned, I will post on our site next years entry link and try to get more pictures and updates. This info is also under the reports tab on the main web page.

This is a link to the web site with more pictures, maps, etc. Also this was one of the prizes, a custom fly rod. Ethos-fly.com
