MOAFS Benefit Trout Tournament, May 19

[Phil Lilley]

Lilleys' Landing Resort & Marina is hosting the first ever Missouri Chapter of the American Fisheries Society's benefit trout tournament this year on Saturday, May 19th.

The format will be nearly identical to other trout tournament held out of Lilleys' Landing, on Lake Taneycomo.  It's a 2-person team contest, weighing 6 (six) trout per team for winning weight.  It will be an artificial only tournament, catch and release.  All trout will be released immediately after weigh-in.

Tournament hours will be from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. (weigh-in).  Tournament fees are $70 per team with an optional $10 biggest trout pot.

Cash prizes will be 35% of the purse for first, 25% for second and 10% for third.  Big Trout Pot will be divided with the 2 top finishers - 70% for biggest and 30% for second biggest trout.  Plaques will also be given to top winers.

All proceeds will go to student scholarships for those who are seeking fisheries biologist degrees.

All Missouri game and fish rules apply.  See flyer for tournament rules.
