The Only excuse you need to fish non-stop for 2 days straight.

WELCOME to the 9th Annual Mile High 25!

Sign ups will look a bit different this year, as we will be teaming up with the Orvis Colorado stores to promote and sign up angling teams! Not only that but we will be donating to Denver Trout Unlimited and their work on the Denver South Platte with sign up funds. Our goal is to write DTU a check for $5,000 after the event wraps up!

This event is a fly-fishing tournament, meets scavenger hunt. The goal is for each team to check off as many boxes on the species list, and complete as many team challenges as possible in just 2 days on the water! Success in this event depends on a mix of teamwork and species/location knowledge. The winning team will have a solid plan and a bit of luck to boot! Only teams pre-registered by June 14th, 2024 will be guaranteed to receive the full swag bag of goodies from our sponsors, as well as a control item which must be visible in each video submission. Teams registered after 6/14 may get partial swag bags.

The event will officially kick off on Saturday June 22nd when anglers start their fishing! The days prior we will have an opening party and in store registration and control item pick up. Details to come. We will answer then any last minute question on the rules. 

On Saturday June 22nd, the competition will kick off at 6am and continue all day, with lines out of the water by 8pm. The fishing action will officially start again Sunday morning the 23rd at 6am and the tournament will end at 3pm. This year the awards ceremony will be held at a new location after we tally the last of the points to announce this years winners. Plan on 4pm to 6pm.

The $300 team registration will include entry fees for two team members. We will be taking new sign ups until the end of the day Friday June 21st. 

Please do yourself a HUGE favor, read the rules page, and follow our Instagram @25onthefly for pre-event tips and tricks!
