Fishing Tournaments
Q:

Why are permits required for fishing tournaments?

A:

The application and review process for a permit allows GFP to determine that the event being planned:

1) is allowable within the statutes, rules and policies which apply;

2) will not harm the resources involved;

3) is compatible with the facilities available;

4) does not conflict with other, previously scheduled events;

5) does or does not carry a higher than usual risk of injury to participants or others and greater liability for event organizers and employees of the state.
