The application form states :Biggest Fish

The top message in this thread states :10. Biggest fish wins. Trout or Bass

What is it? Trout or bass or any fish? There are some big carp in there.

If I sign an application, that's like a contract. So any biggest fish wins?

And what's biggest? Is that length or weight?

Thanks!

Be it the biggest Carp, Bluegill, Catfish, Bass or Trout Biggest fish wins.
I don't know if it still is but the the state record fr the largest rainbow came from lake Natoma.
Maybe there's a bunch of mega trout that feed on planter trout.
I will be there tomorrow With CCK for a Kayakflyfishing & Hobie demo.

I have never fished @ Notoma, I would like to enter, but again I might get mandatoried again. So ,where are you all launching from and can I pay fees at the site on the day and would it be worth my time if I started about 9:30 at best? Thanks, DANGLIN

O.K... Just found the other post on the details, I'll call CCK about showing up late, probably just go anyway, DANGLIN

Gonna be a hot one on Saturday!....107...

True Dat! It was hot when I was there last Saturday. I'm thinking the bit will be early. Between 7 and 10 am will be our best bet. See you there.
