REGISTRATION STATION

The registration station will be located at the Lower Rock Lake Park (North End) located on the North end of Rock Lake in Lake Mills. Since the idea behind the event is parent/child interaction, this event is open to ANY body of water you choose to fish. However, the check-in time of 3:30 p.m. is the same regardless of where you choose to fish.

POINTS SYSTEM USED FOR REGISTRATION

BLUEGILLS = 4 POINTS PER INCH
CRAPPIES/PERCH = 3 POINTS PER INCH
WALLEYE/BASS = 2 POINTS PER INCH
NORTHERN/MUSKY = 1.25 POINTS PER INCH

How does the points system work? First off, the child only needs to register ONE fish. If he/she has a 10-inch bluegill and a 31-inch northern, register the bluegill. The bluegill would equal 40 points (10 inches X 4 points per inch). The northern would score 38.75 points (31 inches X 1.25 points per inch). A 32-inch northern would be the same as a 10 inch bluegill. This system seems strange to some, but when the math is done, a trophy = a trophy, regardless of species. This also helps children with no boat a chance to place.
