Fly Casting Competition

Men & Women will be competing for accuracy & distance in this timed event.  Each angler will have one (1) minute to prepare (strip out line) once he/she has stepped into the casting box. Anglers must then place the fly back in his/her hand. Judge will clear the clock and the angler will then have two and a half (2 ½) minutes to complete the three casts at all three accuracy targets and the three casts for distance.  When time expires, the caster will be considered finished with the course and the score achieved when the clock expires will be considered final.  There is no “time-out” for any reason, except for outside interference as determined by the Organizers and/or appointed judge.  In the event there is a tie for fifth (5th) place for the men and third (3rd) place for the women, the angler with the longer distance cast moves on to the finals.  The maximum number of participants is 40 and you must be 12 or older to participate.  This event is sponsored by Royal Gorge Anglers.
