August 29-30, Ditch Pickle Classic, Lake Champlain Fly Fishing Tournament
Welcome to the 2020 DPC. After much deliberation we have decided to move ahead with this years DPC event held on August 29th-30th. We held off as long as we could to try and see if we could have our annual awards ceremony where anglers share stories and laughs about the weekend. Although the state guidelines would allow such a gathering, given the current climate and in the interest of public safety, there will be no in person awards held this year. Instead, anglers will submit their photos online. The awards have always been the heart and soul of this social event and it hurts to bypass this gathering of anglers. With that said, we figure something is better than nothing and we will attempt a more distant format for the safety of our participants. Registration is now open and you can register your team by filling out the form below or by clicking link on top left of page. We will be limiting the amount of anglers this year so register your team ASAP. If you want to be guaranteed a DPC tourney shirt in your size, the deadline to register is July 31st! http://www.fishthepickle.com/
