Riptide Rendezvous is Back for 2023!

After three years of waiting for COVID-related issues to die down, we are happy to announce that Riptide Rendezvous will be back in 2023!

We're adopting an "all virtual" format this time around, which allows us to greatly expand both the time window and the geographic area covered by the event. You can fish any time from May 27, 2023 thru June 23, 2023, and anywhere from the northern border of Santa Barbara County to the Mexican border (as long as it's legal!)

One of the things that makes this possible is our continued use of the iAngler tournament app. All entries will be submitted by the contestants themselves when they catch a fish. That means you (or one of your fishing buddies) will need to have a smart phone to compete.

RR is still a Catch-and-Release only event, and as before, conventional tackle (spin, bait-casting) fishermen can compete in a separate division. Artificial lures or flies only. 

In order to make this work, we are dropping the "one fly" feature in favor of a "use your own fly" format. See the complete rules HERE..
