Father's Day Scavenger Hunt
Teams of up to (2) adults + up to (3) kids 17 and under will attempt to capture as many unique catches off the species list as possible. Fish with a buddy or your family, this is a fun challenge. Don't be intimidated by the list, just go for the easy ones first.
Use your phone to video document each catch, post on your Instagram Account and tag @redsflyshop. As teams submit catches online, our judges will share your video to our IG Story and score the event as we go.
This is a fun way to see a live leaderboard throughout the day! It's all about having fun, being inspired, and just do your best.
- $50 per team (max 2 adults/3 kids per team).
Kick off starts on Saturday morning when you can pick up your swag bag and learn the rule(s) for the FDSH event.
Family Fun Father's Day Event
Clean family fun. Spend Father's Day chasing fish around the great state of Washington! This is an "all for fun" event that just happens to have some amazing sponsors that have donated a really incredible prize package. Fish super hard... or go easy. Who cares. By the end of this event you'll have increased your fishing knowledge exponentially and have a really good shot at taking home a new fly rod or other valuable tackle.
The closing event on Father's Day is a really fun way to spend time around other anglers that pursued the same exact list of species you did all weekend. It's a friendly, fun, and welcoming environment.

ADVICE FOR NEW ENTRANTS
The only person counting your fish is you. Just have fun. Don't worry about how many species you catch. Go out with a single goal of catching a few of the fish that you are curious about. Maybe it's bass, crappie, bluegill, or a shad from the Columbia River. This event is a great excuse for some windshield and water time with friends or family.
BOAT OR WADE?
In the past we've seen boats act as both a burden and a bonus. They are certainly an advantage on the lakes, but they also take time to launch and leave you less mobile. Don't feel like you have to have a boat. It's a great topic of discussion at Sunday's Happy Hour! Do this each year and learn as you go.
