Every way to run a fishing tournament event
Colorado fishing tournaments run on reservoirs, lakes and rivers from spring through fall, plus ice fishing derbies in winter, drawing families, kids and serious anglers.
When to run it: Ice fishing runs about December through February on high-country lakes, depending on safe ice, and open-water tournaments run spring through fall. Check ice conditions and state fishing rules before you set a date.
Bass Tournament (Team / Boat)
Two-person boat teams fish a set window and bring a limited number of live fish to the weigh-in. The heaviest total bag wins.
Big Bass (Heaviest Fish)
Every angler competes to land the single heaviest fish during the event. Fish are weighed at the scale and the biggest one takes the prize.
Catch, Photo & Release
Anglers measure each fish on an official board, photograph it and release it right away. Total length of the best fish decides the winner.
Fly Fishing
Anglers fish assigned river or lake beats with fly gear, usually catch and release. Fish are measured and logged by a judge or partner for points.
Ice Fishing Derby
Anglers drill through the ice and fish during set hours. Catches are weighed or measured at a central station, with prizes for the biggest fish.
Kids / Youth Derby
Kids fish a stocked pond or shoreline in age groups, often with loaner gear and volunteer help. Prizes go for first fish, biggest fish and most fish.
Species-Specific
Only one target species counts, such as trout, walleye or pike. The biggest fish or heaviest total of that species wins.
Clinic, camp or lessons
Guides teach casting, knots, baits, fish handling and local regulations, then help participants try it on the water.
Social or open play
A casual group outing where people fish together at a lake or river, with no weigh-in or standings.
