BIG FISH CHALLENGE - Green River (August 13, 2011)

GREEN RIVER 2011 BIG FISH CHALLENGE

Competition base camp was located at Flaming Gorge Recreation Services Conoco Station's RV Park. Registration check-in for the competition started bright and early at 6:30 am. By 9 am all of the contestants were checked in and out fishing. We had 16 participants total in the competition. Sections A and B are the allowed places to fish for this competition.

We setup a mid day result check-in at Little hole where we had drinks available for the contestants and where we could judge their catch results. We only had a few participants take advantage of this when the others stayed on the river and continued to fish

(here was our mid day top results)

We re-opened our base camp at 5 pm and shortly after we had some anglers showing up and the final judging began. By 6 pm the competition came to an end and shortly after we had found our top 2 winners.


Our first place winner was a surprising 13 year old twin by the name of Jace Garcia. He caught this very nice Brown trout that measured 21 3/4". Jace caught this monster fish on a Black Triple Double fly.
Prizes Won
Hendrix Outdoors - Wader
Fenwick Eagle GT Fly Rod
Pflueger - Medalist 1492 ½ Fly Reel
Our second place winner was Chris Greenwood that caught this nice 17" Rainbow. Chris caught this fish using a Rainbow Dynamic Lure. Chris was also the second place prize winner on the Provo river were he won an assorted pack of Dynamic Lures were he recieved the lure that caught him this winning fish.
There were a lot of great fish caught by our contestants one of the catches which was a surprise by me was this 25" Northern Pike caught by Thomas Huber. This competition was a trout only competition which disqualified this catch as the biggest catch but it was still a very nice catch one that I felt needed at least an honorable mention.
