2023 Tournament Results

What an incredible event at Curt Gowdy State Park again for 2023!  All 3 reservoirs were open to fishing.  For sure most of the pressure was at North Crow Reservoir. Many people were hunting the elusive Tiger Muskie. And what would you know, we had 2 caught!!! Absolutely incredible and super fun. While most of the fun activity is at Granite and Crystal reservoirs with stocker trout, brooders, perch, etc. it appears that the biggest fish are indeed being caught at North Crow. Unfortunately North Crow can be a 1 fish a day location without alot of activity throughout the day to keep you engaged. You better be awake though because when that one hits it's definitely a contender!

The wind was fairly light this year. Around 500 people turned out for the event.

 

2023 prizes were awesome. Special thank you to our sponsors!
