Trout Power 2013 - This Weekend

If you live in or near NY you should look into spending this weekend at Trout Power!

Trout Power 2013

Trout Power is a creel study tournament at it's roots, but has grown to add a ton of community events all through the weekend. There is a gala and silent auction, a rubber ducky race, a few concerts, a 5K race, and more. 

Last I heard the sign up for the tournament may have ended, but if you're interested it would be worth looking into. Also yesterday I heard of 3 sponsorships available from The Fly Master, so if you have a kid you want to team up with, check with him or JP Ross Fly Rods to see if those are available still. It would make a great weekend with your child.

The West Canada Creek from what I hear is one of the areas finest streams and I hope to someday have a chance to fish it!

Trout Power Tournament

JP Ross of JP Ross Fly Rods has done what many people fear will happen to their favorite streams....he's talking about it all the time...EVEN on the internet! It comes down to a simple idea, if no one knows about it, and it's potential, then no one will care to protect it. So, to help save this beautiful water, he's started a Trout Power blog and will be hosting a Trout Power Tournament this summer.

Trout Power is a way for the community around the water to realize the potential the water has to bring business to the community. The tournament will be on Saturday and Sunday June 9 and 10th 2012. So, being that it's a 2 day tournament, consider staying at one of the local hotels and eating out at a local place...help the community, so they help protect the water.

There is a limit of 30 teams, 2 people per team. Sign up is $60 (that includes 2 shirts) with a $1,000 grand prize and other great prizes. If you don't feel like fishing in the tournament, volunteers are needed.
