Competitions and Outings
Rules
All fish must be weighed on official scales at Balmaha or at the clubhouse.
A three-man sub-committee will judge catches after the closing date, which will be the 31st of October. If it is decided that the catch does not merit the trophy it will not be presented.
Providing it is declared before competing, members have the option to fish on a Wednesday rather than on a Saturday for trophies normally being fished for on a Saturday.
