2008 Chewaucan Challenge:
There will be an early morning orientation every morning from 4:30 until 6:00 A.M., to describe rotation of areas for teams and to hand out our daily score cards.
Lodging must be obtained by the teams. (Paisley Dorm, Paisley Sage Rooms, Summer Lake Lodge, Summer Lake Inn, etc.) RV camping is available both with hookups in town or dry camping at the Paisley Airport, (free) 2/3 mile from the Community Center.
Fishing can be done anytime between the hours of 6:00 A.M. and 7:00 P.M. Team score cards must be handed in by 7:00 P.M. each day.
Every fish is immediately scored by monitor and immediately released.

  • SCORING:
  • Fish 4-8" = one point.
  • Fish 8"-10" = two points.
  • Fish 10-12" = three points.
  • Bonus points for 12-14" = four points, 14-16" = 5 points and six points for over 16"

    We are NOT looking for the biggest fish, but the best fishermen. Three days was established because "anyone can get lucky one day."

    The winning team will receive a replica of the "Perpetual Trophy" that will stay on display in Paisley for all visitors to see. There will be a cash pool with the amount determined depending upon expenses. There will also be "Place" prizes.
