1ONE FLY CHALLENGE

As in "one", "single", and "lone" fly! The challenge is to catch fish using one and only one fly all afternoon. Not another fly of the same pattern, or a different size; just one lone fly. If you loose the fly, put it in a tree, an 18"er breaks it off, you snap it off due to a wind knot, snag an underwater branch, or what ever other reason (and we expect some real good ones!), the challenge is over.

• Fish must be landed and measured by competitor or competitors designated partner.
• All fishing must be done on the Cohocton River or its connecting tributaries.
• Only fish hooked in the mouth area (in front of the gill cover) satisfy the challenge.
• Fishing must be completed by 6pm.
• All challenge results must be confirmed and reported to "registration" by 615pm.

Naturally you can fish another fly if your patience wears thin, but then the "catching" will not be part of the challenge. Or, you can change back to your "pre-picked" lone fly and be back in the challenge.
