#ShimanoRules – Weekly Categories

Each team member can submit their own fish but only the longest fish submitted for your team will remain on overall scoreboard.

Video submission requirements: [Watch video] [Read video requirements]

NOTES:

• Any species that meets the minimum 8″ requirement (no micro-species) within that weekly category equals one SLX ballot (regardless of size), per angler.
• Only 1 ballot, per team, per species. Ex. 3 rainbow trout is only 1 ballot. However, one rainbow trout, one brown trout, and one brook trout equals 3 ballots.
  .
• SLX draw will be held on CFN live on Facebook every Monday at 7:30 pm.
  .
• Fish must be measured with Shimano measuring tape to be eligible for SLX draw using the hashtag #ShimanoRules
  .
• Didn’t get a Shimano tape measure or forgot it at home, see details on how to still qualify.
  .
• Fish must be submitted by midnight each Sunday to be eligible for SLX draw.
  .
• New weekly code will be published prior to midnight each Sunday night for anglers to use the for the upcoming week.
  • Example:
    Week 1 code needs to be used for trout/salmon week.
    Week 2 code needs to be used for sucker mouth week.
    **If week 1 code is used to submit a white sucker, that particular white sucker would not be eligible for the week 2 SLX draw (but can still be considered for overall scoreboard depending on the circumstances).
