Welcome to the Paint Creek One Fly 2012!

The Paint Creek One Fly is a non-profit event located in Downtown Rochester, Michigan and is open to the public. Specifics for this year's event are:

Date: Saturday, June 2nd

Place: Rochester Municipal Park at the Kiwanis Pavilion

Time: 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM

Team Registrations begin at 8:00 AM

Tournament starts Promptly at 9:00 AM

If you joined us for the 2011 PC1F you know what a worthwhile and fun time it was! Think BIGGER, BETTER and MORE FUN this year!

In the One Fly tournament your goal is to catch, measure and release as many trout as you can within the event fishing period. At the start of the day you must select a single fly for the event. Once you have selected your One Fly for the day, you must use only that fly for scoring points. The One Fly concept is not wholly about fly fishing, nor competitive fishing, but more about friendship, good humor, good times and raising funds for a good cause - Casting for Recovery.

AND!...Immediately after the trout tournament join us for our Fly Casting Contest. Test your fly casting skill at 20, 30, and 40 foot targets.

AND!...We're planning a hot dog/hamburger cookout with all the fixin's after the day's events.

All-in-all it makes for a great day with lots of food and prizes! Don't miss it!

IMPORTANT CHANGES TO THIS YEARS EVENT:

  • Pre-registration is highly preferred! We know there will be some walk-in's and that's OK.
  • $25 entry donations can be paid in advance (also preferred) or at the event.
  • Trout tournament fishing boundaries have been extended north to Tienken Road and south to Paint Creek's confluence with the Clinton River (see MAPS tab).
  • Just for kids look for a Bluegill Fly Fishing Tournament at the park pond! See the "KIDS BLUEGILL TOURNAMENT" tab for details.
