Women's Spring Tarpon Fly Tournament set for June 10-13 in Islamorada
By Fla-Keys.com
Tue, Apr 29, 2008

Women are to pit their angling expertise and tenacity against tarpon at the 32nd annual Women's Spring Tarpon Fly Tournament set for Tuesday through Friday, June 10-13.

A kick-off party and rules meeting are to be held Tuesday, June 11, at the Lorelei, mile marker 82 bayside in Islamorada. Fly-fishing for tarpon is slated Wednesday through Friday sandwiched between daily breakfast at 5 a.m. and cocktail parties at 3 p.m. at the Lorelei.

The all-release, fly-only tournament requires anglers to use a tournament-supplied 16-pound tippet. Scoring is based on the total number of releases, so anglers must hook, fight and release tarpon as quickly as possible -- making the competition a true test of skill and endurance.

Fish must measure a minimum of 48 inches long to be counted for scoring.

Entry fee is $600 and covers all social functions for each angler and her guide.

The awards banquet is set for 5 p.m. Friday, June 13, at the Islamorada Fishing Club adjacent to the Lorelei.
