I will hand out wristbands at the launch beginning at 5:00 am. The angler must be on shore no later than 1:00pm and immediately head to the check-in table. All Ca. DFG rules must be followed or immediate disqualification will happen. You will be required to wear a PFD or life jacket while competing.

Looks cool Jim, what's the camping situation like? Is there RV spots? I'll stay tuned for details

Camping is really nice, its one of the nicest campgrounds I have seen in a LOOOOONG time!  no Electricity, but there are showers at the restrooms and potable water as well.

I like fishing this lake.  Jigs with dark craw imitation lures works for me for bass.  Crappie fishing is good here.  Most average 12inches.  Just gotta know where to fish.  Powell has steped up as a sponsor for this event.  A Jig rod will be given to first place at this event. 

That's AWESOME Yester!

I got some Boomerang Tool Co. snip's today as well   I love these things 

Looking forward to this one! I will be driving up Friday night after work, so I won't be able to get a camping spot. I will stay with family near-by instead.

I might also bring along my son and another friend.

Any potlucks or lunch afterwards?

Like those Powell rods a lot!!!!! Sorry everyone I will be fishing for that rod... So don't take it wrong if I'm a little competitive and less friendly than usual

Oh no!  We'll have to wait and see Ron.

I'm sure some of you haven't fished this lake but I've done okay here and there.  So I'll tip off my advice as for shore fishing goes.  Grizzly Flats area fist pick, then Burris Creek. 

Where is Black Butte?

Tiny, about 20 min west of Orland.

I am so excited about this, this lake should be a great time.  I think that with the small size, standing timber, steep banks, rocky structure and warm stained water, there will be a LOT of fish caught
At least I hope so!

Tiny, Rockfish has the google link in the first post.
2 hours and 39 mins North, North-East from San Fran.

Ron is this your game day hat?

I like the Powell Rods too. Press Powell made me a custom fly rod, probably his last rod right before he passed away. It is my favorite Fishing rod I own.

Can't wait!  For once an event on my home turf. 😁

NEED THAT HAT!!!!!!!
