I am planning on attending and will get my Pre reg out soon, The 5-6am sign in does not really allow much time for travel to rivers south of the hoh....But I guess earlier or the night before is not an option????. Just a question. Thanks, Matt

Since the Feds have a "problem" with our tournament we are dropping the Queets off the list of allowable rivers. Any water within the Park boundary will be off limits. Most of the Clearwater will still be an option for some, and better than a good bet for finding brutus if the rain cooperates, but the Queets is out.

Thanks for the reply, The later river mentioned is where we are planning on fishing... Will get it in the mail real soon... Matt

Just hit me about the February 1st deadline for pre-registration. 3 more entries in the mail tomorrow. Yahoo.

Updated 1/29/07: Pre-registration for t-shirts must be recieved by February 1st.

Add Jessie and Vince Hawkins, as well as our man with the boat, HohBomb (Jason). Handed Superfly the money yesterday, right before he went to the liquor store.

Team 'HoHawk in da house.

OK now put it in alphabetical order mother !!!!

Peace
Superfly

Joe.. Joe.. Joe.. lol...

Is one person for each team showing up to sign in? Or is everybody going to be dragging all those rigs to the check in? If we don't all need to be at the check in, that'll give a few extra minutes for the guy with the boat to get it moving towards a distant launch (spread out the contestants), and fewer vehicles to make a charlie foxtrot at the check in.

One person will be allowed to sign in and pay for multiple parties. Joe and I have decided not to fish in the tournament so we can cut firewood and keep an eye on peoples rigs at Richwine. There's been enough publicity about this we don't want any vandalisum or tweeker BS.

Big day at the post office. This thing is starting to look like a tournament.

Tankya, Numrod

I kinda liked "Tom Severed"...it implied that there were some missed connections between that lump of gray between your ears and the rest of your bad ass self...or is that "big-ass self"?

Updated 1/31/07: Pre-registration for t-shirts must be recieved by February 1st.

Here are the revised tournament rules. If you have any questions, keep-em to yourself (ask me at morning registration).

C.E.O’s: Joe Superfisky & Tim Wallis
LEGAL: Todd Ripley
SPONSORS: Lamiglas (rods), Rainshadow (blanks), Vision Tackle, Salmon Trout Steelheader, Ultimate Egg Cure, rvrfshr, morningbite.com.

1. You must sign in, pay the $40.00 event fee and collect your sticker and identification number at the registration booth on Richwine Bar on the Quillayute River between 5:00 AM and 8:00 AM on Saturday, March 24th (directions will be provided). If the event is rained out and rivers are predicted not to be fishable on that day, the event will be held the following Saturday, March 31st.

2. Shirts and raffle tickets will be handed out at registration. Please note: We will NOT be responcible for disseminating shirts via the U.S. Postal Service for those who do not show up. If you do not collect your shirt at the event you can consider the $20.00 you sent for the shirt a donation to the Snider Creek Broodstock Program.

3. The event fee of $40.00 (cash only) will be used as follows: 50% of the entry fee money collected will be donated to Snider Creek Broodstock Program. The other 50% will be split between 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners for steelhead, and the 1st place winner for salmon (spring kings will not be present on O.P. rivers in large numbers). 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners for steelhead will receive 20%, 10% and 5% of the proceeds, respectively, and the 1st place winner for salmon will receive 15% of the proceeds. If the salmon category goes unfilled, that money will be added to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners for steelhead. Hence forth, the distribution would be 25%, 15% and 10%, respectively. Our permit allows for prize money distribution up to $5000. If more than 250 people register (god help us), money beyond that limit will be donated to the Snider Creek Broodstock Program.

4. You may fish the Quillayute, Bogachiel, Sol Duc, Calawah, Dickey, Hoh and Clearwater Rivers, ONLY. Fishing within the Olympic National Park will be prohibited and W.D.F.W. rules must be followed. That means fish shall NOT BE REMOVED FROM THE WATER. Fishing on tribal lands will be prohibited. Please note: This event is catch & release on native steelhead. Anyone killing a wild steelhead will be disqualified from competition and will be banned from future events. Spring Chinook may be killed if legal to do so and may be entered for prize money, as well as hatchery steelhead (if you catch one big enough to compete with native fish---unlikely).

5. Guides may fish in the tournament if they register and pay with everyone else. Also, everyone fishing from a boat must be registered in the tournament if any one person in that boat wishes to enter a fish for prize money.

6. You MUST be back for the awards ceremony at Richwine Bar at or BEFORE 5:00 PM. Anyone showing up after 5:00 PM will be disqualified from consideration as a winner.

7. The sticker we hand out during registration in the morning MUST be visible somewhere in the frame of both length and girth measurement pictures for the fish to be considered for awards. We suggest wrapping it around the middle of your rag measure.

8. A CLEAR digital full-frame picture of your fish’s entire length must be taken with a rag tape measure laying on top of the fish nose to tail.

9. A CLEAR digital full-frame picture of your fish’s girth must be taken with a rag tape measure pulled tight just forward of the dorsal fin. No hands will be allowed behind the fish in this shot.

10. Again, digital cameras with photos of potential winners need to be checked in at the registration booth at Richwine Bar AT OR BEFORE 5:00 PM for review by the “rules committee.” This will consist of Joe Superfisky, Todd Ripley and myself. PLEASE erase photos not specifically related to tournament winning fish from your memory cards, as we will require you to extract the card from your camera so we can download images for review on Fly’s laptop for close inspection. Our decision on winners will be FINAL, using the weight formula 0.0013 x L x G^2. Please note: Even with our tournament requirements there are ways to cheat if a person is so motivated. Don’t be one of them. You will be disqualified, banned from future events and your name will be disseminated among the fishing community as dirt if you are caught.

11. Winners will be announced at 5:30 PM, followed by raffling of door prizes and lighting of the bon-fire.

12. Be prepared to camp out, meet some cool people and cut loose SolFly style. That means bring your own beer as well as a tent or camper to stay in that evening. This is going to be a casual tailgate type party, so bring your hibachis and something to grill yourself for diner. Joe and I will be in or around camp all day to keep an eye on any rigs left there during the day.

13. Solid Waste: Pack it in, pack it out. Littering will not be tolerated.

14. Septic Waste: We will provide one or two on-site santicans. Please use them and keep Richwine Bar clean.

15. The participants are fully responsible for their own actions. The SolFly Tournament and its organizers will not be liable for any acts or omissions by any of the Tournament participants. Please be safe and courteous while on the rivers, on your way to and from the rivers, and while interacting with non-Tournament people on the rivers and off.

16. Any questions or concerns about the rules and their interpretation, or any situations that come up that aren’t covered clearly by the above rules, will be dealt with by Tim, Joe, and Todd at Richwine Bar on Saturday afternoon before the Winners are awarded. Their decision(s) will be final.

It's Todd you moron.

And lemmee get this straight....if somebody comes back to Richwine with a 21.8 lb hatchery fish it will not qualify?

Ike

Hey, Tood...

Rule # 4:

...Spring Chinook may be killed if legal to do so and may be entered for prize money, as well as hatchery steelhead (if you catch one big enough to compete with native fish---unlikely).

I think you need to go back to the drawing board and work on "getting it straight" some more...

Wanna fish over the weekend? It looks like we're still a week away from any more rain...

Fish on...

Todd

Sol,
You forgot Doug R. Vince H. Jessie H. and Jason Hohbum,

Peace
Superfly

Looks like McDonalds isn't going broke. There's an inordinate number of XXXL's and XXXXL's. We can probably find a sailmaker to stich something up.
