2024 Spring Species Contest is coming up!!! The contest is a great way to challenge yourself to try some different things, and is a blast! See the link below for the Registration page. This contest lasts the month of June and whoever catches the most different species of fish (standard, not micro) becomes Champion and will receive a handmade fishing rod. Kid's winner gets a trophy!

The Contest is $10 to enter in the continental US (PM me if outside), and we will ship you a button.  You must be registered by May 24th at Midnight in order to receive your button in time.

We define Standard fish as a freshwater species that can attain a pound in weight. Here's a link to the list of accepted species - https://www.roughfish.com/contest-species-list

We will likely be making some shirts as well, stay tuned if you'd like to order one.
