Hi everyone,

We will be keeping a running log of submissions to the 2022 PWF Big Bass Contest here.  As a reminder, the entry fee is $25 and you can easily enter by sending us an email to info@privatewaterfishing.com.  Prizes for this year are as follows:

First Place Overall - $400

Second Place Overall - $200

Third Place Overall - $100

Also, like last year, each month (Jan - May) there will be a big fish pot of $100

And also, there will be a $100 prize for biggest fish caught on a fly

Reminder - please submit a picture of your fish on a certified measuring stick (e.g. chek it stick) with a closed mouth next to the end and an open (unpinched) tail.  This year's unique identifier is a swim bait
