We have several awards all which are for different species of fish all with different line pound test.

On the main page of the website choose Awards at the top.  You will see the different awards categories that can be competed for.

 

The Anglers Board holds an awards dinner each year.

At the awards dinner, all the previous years weigh slips are reviewed for awards.  Each Award winner recieves a SWYC Anglers jacket and an additional awards of of the current president’s choosing.
