Cumberland Valley Fly Fishing & Outdoor Festival

Read the rules below before you sign up here!

Think you can row your teammate into position for that perfect cast? Think you can land that cast under pressure? If so - Join us for our NRS Raft and Cast Challenge at the 6th Annual Cumberland Valley Fly Fishing and Outdoor Festival on Children’s Lake!

Sound Simple? Here’s the skinny on the NRS Classic

• Timed event rowing around a predetermined marker and back while casting to 7 targets for points. (3 up and 4 targets on the way back) You must hit the final target to stop the clock.
• 2 rafts row at the same time with teams of two - Each raft will have one person rowing and another person at the bow casting to targets along the way with a scorer assigned by TCO. Must sign up as teams of two.
  
• Speed is the name of the game but the most points come from your casts. (no dipping a cast in the target! That’s grounds for the crowd letting you hear it plus that’s no points).

Scoring:

• Make 3 successful casts max at each target for 100 points each time you hit target - 300 points max. (No limit on casts for each target)
  
• One successful cast at the final - 7th target is needed to stop the clock. This cast is worth 300 points.
  
• The first boat to finish a heat with the fastest time is awarded 500 extra points.
  

PFDs must be worn and 5 weight rods will be provided.

The two rafts with the most points face off in the championship round and the winner wins a TCO gift card

What’s your strategy going to be? Speed and skipping targets or slow and steady for max points? Remember this is supposed to be a fun event - and the Judge has final say so let’s have fun. And no, there will not be TCO Pros competing!

As Ricky Bobby once said - If you ain’t first you're last!
