RIDGWAY, Colo. (AP) - Smallmouth bass anglers are competing for more than $6,000 in prizes at a week-long fishing tournament that begins Saturday at Ridgway State Park.
The contest is open to all anglers who have a Colorado fishing license. The top prize will be a 14-foot fishing boat. Other prizes will include fishing rods and lures.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife will be tagging 10 smallmouth bass of all sizes. Every smallmouth bass an angler catches offers an opportunity to win a prize.
There are no bag or possession limits on smallmouth bass at Ridgway Reservoir in western Colorado.
