This event will follow the current Fly Fishing Team USA cycle. For anglers to be eligible to garner points, they need to be from the states of Utah, Idaho, Montana, Arizona, Oregon, Washington, Wyoming,or California. For those outside these states, up to one outside event may count for points.

This event will be fished on the Naches River and maybe the Tieton River if flows allow. If flows are too high on the Tieton River, then both days will be on the Naches River.

After you successfully register, please make sure your US Fly Fishing Team membership is current. We need all participants to have a current membership for insurance purposes.
