How any organization can simultaneously promote flyfishing competition
while pretending to understand the word "wild" (and even emblazen this
word on license plate bling) is entirely beyond my capacity to
understand. There are so many things wrong with this it's not even
funny. I wonder how they would feel about paint ball hunting deer? I'd
sure like to have a conversation with someone trying to explain the
difference to me.

Which is in direct conflict with the rules of fishing in Colorado which
prohibit contests on moving water (see paragraph 8).

Eventually all things merge in to one and a golf match runs through it.

Fishing contests like this are CLEARLY in violation of the 2006 Colorado
DOW regulations. I emailed several people at Colorado TU, and the
Colorado DOW. I'll be interested to see what, if any, response I get.

PS How's the competition Bass fishing going Tim? Got any holes in one?

FWIW - I talked with a gentleman today who was fishing the Platte
during the contest. In the morning he was told by one judge that there
would be a contest but who was otherwise polite but pretty much told
them to scat. Later on as more judges arrived they became more and more
rude. They were surly and intimidating. The regulation is also clear on
this...on still waters, where approval for a contest has been granted,
fishing MUST stay open to the public during the contest.

Next year I'm rocking the ****ers.
