Bighorn Carp Tourney

Last year we were introduced to some wicked Bighorn Lake carping thanks to The Bighorn River Alliance’s annual carp tourney in Fort Smith, MT. Carp patrol consisted of 25 teams, launching en masse from the Ok-A-Beh Marina, and sourcing big lips hoovering down dry flies—cicada style. The 2012 “Big Lips International Carp Tournament” takes place on July 6 at Bighorn Lake. Bluegrass twang courtesy of Bozeman’s Jawbone Railroad. Beers, good food, and great prizes. Awards for largest fish and best lips (of course, on a carp).

Date: Friday, July 6

Time: 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. for the tourney on the lake, and 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. for the BBQ, silent auction, and bluegrass band

Entry Fee: $25 per team (2 people per team, non-motorized vessels) / BBQ & Band Fee: $20 per person or $200 to reserve a table for 10 people
