You may still enter for a spot in the Classic at the time of this report. The event is occurring on Saturday, August 9th. There is a 200 person limit this year. The prizes are fantastic and Crowley is fishing very well most days.

Sierra Drifters Guide Service has donated over $3000.00 towards the fisheries enhancement of the lake. We have donated guide trips and "Crowley Killer Kit" fly boxes stocked with our popular flies. These prizes will be auctioned or raffled off after the event. There are a ton of other prizes and trips that will also be put on the awards menu. Please participate, or donate to this event to insure the quality fishing we have enjoyed at Crowley for many years. Many of the Drifters guides will be judging the Classic again, and we are looking forward to meeting you when you wave that flag for a score. Good luck to all---may your Sungicators go under often!

The Mt. Whitney hatchery was devastated by a flash flood and its entire population of brood stock destroyed. The hatchery buildings also sustained significant damage and the DFG is evaluating its opening in the future. This is another salvo into an already listing ship, and all the more reason for you to contribute to fisheries enhancement programs like the Classic.
