POINTS ARE AWARDED TO EACH ANGLER AS FOLLOWS:
1) ONE (1) POINT is awarded for each INCH OF LENGTH of each fish landed for up to five fish of each species (the five fish limitation keeps someone from landing, say twenty 5-inch bluegills from running away with the contest).

4) ONE (1) Additional POINT is awarded for each fish caught by flyfishing (flies cast using spinning gear and casting bubbles will not count as being "fly caught").
As used in each of the rules above, the term LANDED means hooked, brought to hand, measured, recorded on your Derby Recording Form (provided at the kick-off meeting Friday morning) and RELEASED UNHARMED.
