First, another round of applause to all of our winners from last year (Biggest fish-Gregg Disalvo, Prettiest fish- Andrew Sarcinello, Most fish-Jeff Jennette, smallest fish- Nataline Viray-Fung, and our Junior Division which was swept by Philip Jennette). And Second, registration is now open for this years tournament. Please see below for specifics...

Final reminder on the Bluegill Tournament, I e-mailed the ruler to our registered participants yesterday. If you've signed up and didn't get the ruler e-mail, let me know.

There is still time to sign up, and the weather is looking good for Friday and Saturday--a little rain Friday morning may get the gills running.

If you do sign up today or tomorrow, shoot us an e-mail at blue...@tpfr.org and we'll get the ruler to you asap. We're having some difficulties getting immediate notification of registrations.
