We are excited to announce the 5th Annual Adult and Teen Fishing Tournament Wellington Ponds. We
are hoping for great weather, and hopefully, the big fish will be biting, too!

TEEN TOURNAMENT

• This tournament is for ages 12 to 17 only.
• Stonebridge Ranch residents get in free by presenting a valid form of Stonebridge Ranch I.D.
(see www.stonebridge ranch.com/Stonebridge-ranch-ids/). Non-resident teens may participate
by paying a $5.00 fee to enter the event. (Please bring exact change as we do not accept checks
or credit cards.)
• Fish will be measured to determine size (length).
• Trophies will be given out for the 2 largest (length) bass, 2 largest (Length) catfish, and the
smallest fish (any species).

ADULT BIG BASS TOURNAMENT

• This tournament will include ages 18 and up.
• There is a $10 Cash entry fee.
• Only residents of Stonebridge Ranch (ages 18+) will be allowed to enter, and a valid Stonebridge
Ranch ID or driver’s license is required.
• Only fish from Wellington Ponds will be considered.
• The big bass will be determined by length, not weight.
• First place will win 100% of the entry fees. In the case of a tie, prize money will be equally split.
• Only paid contestants are allowed to fish in the lake during this event.

After check-in, fishermen can proceed to any of the Wellington Ponds. Anglers are required to bring
their own equipment and bait (live or artificial). No pre-registration is required. Check-in begins at 9:00
a.m. in the Gazebo by Pond 2. Entrants may fish from the bank only; wading, tubes, and boats are NOT
permitted. Fishermen may carry several rods but may fish with only one at a time. The tournament will
be held from 10:00 a.m. to noon with no casting permitted before 10:00 a.m.

The fish will be measured with the jaw closed and the tail pinched to obtain maximum overall length.
The final weigh-in will be held at noon, though fish may be brought to the judges’ table to be measured
at any time during tournament hours. Fish must be brought in alive and breathing at the weigh-in. They
will be returned to the lake after the weigh-in. Participants will be given a stringer, weigh-in bag and
should bring their ONE biggest fish to the weigh-in. All contestants who are not in line by noon to weigh
their entries will be disqualified. The tournament judge will give all participants the official time on the
morning of the event.
