CHANGE OF VENUE. DUE TO SNOW PREDICTED, THIS EVENT HAS BEEN MOVED TO THE (NICE AND WARM) GOVERNOR'S ROOM IN THE BEAUTIFUL CAROLINA TRACE COUNTRY CLUB. Thank you Escalante! This Saturday (December 9th) why not swing by the CTCC to meet the winners in the Adult and Youth Divisions of our 2017 TUFF Fishing Derby which runs every year from March 1st to November 15th. It's a great way to find out about catching big bass and other kinds of fish in Lake Trace. A 13.5 pound and 13 pound largemouth bass garnered 1st and 2nd place this year. Lake Trace is an awesome fishery! Plus you can register your youngster for our free fishing lessons in 2018. We are looking for youngsters to teach from home-school, year-round and traditional calendar families. We provide equipment, bait and instruction from TUFF volunteers. We will be handing out five engraved plaques and four TUFF Certificates of Excellence to Adults and five Goodie Bags (with gold, silver or bronze fish medallions, fish ornaments, fish stickers, TUFF Certificates, candy) to youngsters who won. "Tis the season - so this event will take place in a timely fashion, so you can continue your holiday shopping and weekend errands by 11:15 a.m.! . Click on Read More to see awards you or your child may win if you register your catch. (See details under Catches section.)
