Lunker Awards
The Lunker Award Program is intended to give recognition to anyone who catches an exceptionally big fish caught in one of our Connestee Falls lakes. The individual will receive a certificate, honorable mention in the Friday Flyer, at a Fishing Club meeting and on the Club's web site (cffishing.org). This will also provide feedback to our Fishery Management Committee and other fishermen about the health of our fishery.
Fish must meet the following minimum lengths:
Bass...............................19 inches
Trout............................20 inches
Catfish.........................25 inches
Sunfish (Brim)............11 inches
Perch...........................14 inches
If an eligible fish is caught, notify Bill Roehrich (884-6642). In addition to the length, please provide where/when the fish was caught and the bait/lure used. Please follow "catch and release" guidelines (see flyer handed out when you purchase your Connestee Falls fishing license). If you harvest the fish, additional specifics would be appreciated including weight, girth, and a picture alongside a tape measure. Also, the Club would appreciate a photo of you holding your lunker.
