TOURNAMENT RULES
The Stanley Moore Memorial Tournament is a catch and release, fly fishing only event that will run from March 1 through March 31, 2021.
Anglers will fish from shore, boats, kayaks or other watercraft by themselves, with guides, or in small groups. A cash prize of $500 will be awarded to the largest fish of each of these species: Bluegill, Snook, Redfish, Spotted Sea Trout. A $250 bonus prize will be awarded to those anglers catching the largest fish using a fly that they tied, or a fly rod that they built. For example, an angler catching the largest snook using a fly and a fly rod that they made will win $1,000.
