[#000000][size 4]We could have a wading party, And, after we're done fishing, we could all walk out to the island and set up tables and chairs and have a fish fry out there. [ ][/size][/#000000]

[cool][#0000ff]Anybody is free to try to organize anything they want. But, BFT will not be officially sponsoring it nor coordinating all of the details.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Until Willard returns to some semblance of a boat friendly lake with lots of wipers, it is too restrictive to hold any extravaganzas.[/#0000ff]

[font "Garamond"][#500050][size 4]Thanks for the reply LH and TD,[angelic] here is a thought, would BFT think about moving it to Yuba Res. this year? Wiper's at this location are nice. You Mod's see if BFT would do it at this location? THANKS [sly][/size][/#500050][/font]

Considering how far Newcastle is from the SLC area, and the high price of gas, it is unlikely that enough BFT members would be willing to make the trek to make it worthwhile. But hey, what do I know?

I was thinking the same thing when I read this last night. I would like to go down to Newcastle but like you said Kent, these high gas prices will be changing a lot of folks wants this year[frown]. I just saw a gas price at a chevron for $3.45 for a gallon of regular, $4.19 for diesel, at this rate I'm going to need a second job just to pay for a fishing trip this year.[:/]

[url "http://www.wildlife.utah.gov/rules/rules_toc.php"]http://www.wildlife.utah.gov/rules/rules_toc.php[/url]
R657-58
you can have all the contests you want as long as they follow these Utah rules. Looks like less than 50 of us can enjoy a friendly competition with out too much interference from anyone. See Type 2 contests

Thanks for the link, for those who don't want to search the document here is the pertinent information:

(a) involves fewer than 50 contestants;
(b) awards cash and/or prizes valued at less than $2,000; and
© does not utilize a live weigh-in"
"R-657-58-3. Certificate of Registration (COR) and General
(1) A COR is required for all Type I fishing contests and all tagged fish contests. The requirements are listed in subsections R657-58(4)(5)(6).
(2) A COR is not required for Type II fishing contests and fishing clinics."
"(a) "Certificate of Registration (COR)" means a license or permit issued by the division that authorizes a contest organizer to conduct a contest and spells out any special provisions and conditions that must be followed."

Do we need btf to do a btf get together? If not a wiper fest (or what ever you want to call it) can be done the same way as the Cat Fest. I would be up for that and help any way I can.

[cool][#0000ff]BFT does not have to officially sanction or sponsor anything, in order to set something up. Anybody can get the ball rolling and call in whoever they want to help.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Generally BFT will try to provide some kind of goodies to show support and us mods usually get involved in some fashion.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]No reason we can't program SOMETHING for just about every month of the year. These things are always fun and a good place to meet fellow BFTers and learn new stuff.[/#0000ff]

That's the same thing I was thinking. Maybe not a tournament, per say, but just another gathering? BFT wouldn't sponsor, just that it's where the invitation is
Maybe this time I could come AND stay a while
I guess having prizes for best fish would be considered a tournament, though. What if we had multiple ones, so that more people could be included? Skinniest fish, smallest length, number of hours spent fishing and getting nothing (I'd win that!), etc.
And a fish fry (whether or not on an island, just anywhere) is good, too!
Now I'm all excited again.
(edit) er...ahem.... I guess TD was writin' his post the same time as me, with the same thoughts. I just pushed 'enter' later than he did LOL

I'd be all about Willard also...the kitties are tasty there too. Also if we do it soon the bug should be at bay, with the weather so far this year we should have a couple more weeks before they come out in the hordes.[cool]
