Sponsorships of fish prizes begin at $25 and may be indicated on the registration form.

The club will float-stock Pine Creek with 250 tagged trout from Galeton to Ansonia one day prior to the tournament.
It’s the luck of the draw that determines what prize an angler wins. After catching one or more tagged fish, the angler brings the trout in “live condition” to the check-in station at the clubhouse, and then draws a numbered Ping-Pong ball for each fish caught to see what he or she has won.
All fish must be legally caught. No fish will be accepted past one hour after the cut-off times. Anglers caught fishing before or after stated tournament times will be disqualified.
Those competing in the tournament must have a valid Pennsylvania fishing license and observe and obey landowners’ rights. Trespassing on private property is not allowed, nor is littering.
Up to $14,000 in cash and prizes will be awarded during the tournament. The top cash prize is $1,000. There are also four $500 cash prizes from the club, plus two additional $500 cash prizes in memory of a founding member from the member’s loving family.
The minimum prize for a tagged fish is $50 and may be cash, merchandise or a gift card, or a combination of the three.
Anglers can earn more than one prize depending on how many of the 250 float-stocked tagged trout they catch. The per angler limit is 5 fish per day during the two-day tournament for a maximum tota l of 10 fish/prizes.
