May 15th - Bud Priddy Memorial One Fly Contest

Bud Priddy The Alamo Fly Fishers will be hosting the 2010 Bud Priddy Memorial One Fly Contest on Saturday May 15th from Camp Wood, Texas on the Nueces River.

Entry fee is $20 plus a duplicate fly of your contest selection. Registration will be from 7:30am to 8:30am on May 15th at Lindbergh Park. The entry fee also includes dinner. A buffet dinner will be served starting at 6:00pm at the Holy Smoke BBQ in Camp Wood.

Contest prizes will be awarded in three categories to the lucky fly fisher who catches either the Most Fish, Longest Bass, or Longest Perch. Contest rules require that you use only a single fly, and count only the fish you bring to hand with that fly until you loose it or change to another fly. You may continue fishing after you change your fly, but caught fish will no longer count toward your contest totals. Fishing hours for the contest are between 7:30am and 5:00pm.
