CANBERRA ANGLERS ASSOCIATION

TROPHY GUIDELINES

Basic Principles

Ÿ A fish which wins either the Lyle Knowles or Anglers Art trophy is also eligible for one other trophy, ie best trout on fly (Mick Cornick) or best trout by any method (Mick O'Brien) or best trout by a junior. Only one fish from the winning Lyle Knowles bag is eligible for a second trophy.

Ÿ A fish cannot be awarded both Mick Cornick and Mick O'Brien trophies, eligible fish will be considered initially for Mick Cornick.

Ÿ A fish winning either of Mick Cornick or Mick O'Brien can be considered for the Junior trophy if not awarded one of the outing trophies

Ÿ All fish to be caught from ACT or local regional NSW waters, ie Regions 3 and 4 as defined by the NSW Council of Freshwater Anglers

Ÿ Fish to be registered at club meetings or by email notification to Secretary

Ÿ All registrations to be according to length rather than weight of fish

Ÿ March 2015 meeting confirmed that "fish caught in privately stocked waters, except on CAA outings, will not count towards CAA trophies". This means that, unless caught on a CAA outing, fish taken from waters such as Dixieland or Bondi Forest Lodge would not be eligible for trophy consideration.
