Please contact Russ Mooney (413‐537‐9141 [email protected]) of Mike Cygan (413‐658‐8140 [email protected]) if you have any questions Notes about judging/determining fish sizes: All submitted photos will be carefully reviewed by the derby coordinator. Fish lengths will be measured from the tip of the snout (with mouth closed) to the tip of the tail. Accuracy of determining fish size will somewhat depends on the quality of the submitted photo of the fish against the yardstick/ruler. During determination of fish length, attempts will be made to compensate for poor alignment of the fish against the zero point of the yardstick/ruler. When multiple photos of leading judged fish lengths fall within 1/8” or less of each other, a tie for the category will be declared. Please remember that BLCC encourages Catch and Release of all fish caught in Beaver Lake. This includes Pickerel. Beaver Lake 2017 One Day Ice Fishing Derby Participant Handout.rtf
