Bass, Pickerel & Crappie Contest
October 23 @ 7:30 am - 2:00 pm
Bass, Pickerel and Crappie Fly Fishing Contest – new for 2026 in that the two contests (spring and fall) are now one. This members-only catch and release contest has been moved from a Saturday to a Friday to avoid any crowding at any particular pond. Fishing must start no earlier than sunrise ([7:18 AM] as dictated by DNREC rules) and ends at 2 PM. There will still be only one category – Boat, but it includes kayaks, in teams of two. All fishing must be done in Kent and/or Sussex County DNREC ponds (see their website for a list) and/or their spillways in accordance with DE state regulations. All fish entered must be logged in on club-supplied log sheets to record species and sizes. We will gather at 3 PM at the Bella Capri restaurant on Rte. 113 in Georgetown for a late lunch to announce the winners. Log sheets must be turned in at that time. Log sheets and rules will be sent to each member via e-mail prior to the contest.
