Columbia-Montour Quarterly Vol. 17: July - September 2025

anglers will also receive fun fish decals for each species caught - 20 are available !

TOURNAMENT DIVISIONS: Passport holders are divided into two categories: YOUTH: 15 years of age or younger ADULT: 16 years of age or older *age at time of registration* 2025 PRIZE CATEGORIES:

YOUTH: Catch six different identified fish species to be awarded a Master Angler Patch & Hat combo. ADULT: Catch nine different identified fish species to be awarded a Master Angler Patch & Hat combo. Stickers will also be awarded for each identified fish species caught. A GRAND PRIZE will be drawn and awarded to one youth & one adult that accomplished the Master Angler designation. This year’s grand prize will be a Nucanoe Flint series kayak (MSRP $1,099). Each identified species caught will earn one entry into the grand prize drawing. Eash identified bonus species caught will earn ten entries into the grand prize drawing. Please note – you can submit as many of each species as you’d like, but will only receive an entry per unique species. For instance, if someone catches and submits ten of a single species, they will still just receive one Grand Prize entry. Again, the Master Angler Passport is a “Catch, Photo and Release” tournament. We are fishing for fun, and to help sustain the fish population in the waterways of Columbia & Montour counties. At the same time, our goal is to get people out and about in our area and on the water fishing. Please be aware that in order for a fish species to count for the passport program, it MUST have been caught within the two-county boundaries and will be approved only after being verified with your location data provided from your phone photo upload. Please note that you do not need to immediately upload the fish photos; instead focus on getting the fish back in the water as quickly as possible after photographing it. You can upload the photo after the fish has been released, or even back at the boat launch or at your car. However, the photo needs to be taken right after the catch, as the photo metadata is what we will be using to verify time/location caught.
