The contest features both an adult and youth division with trophies for first, second and third in the following categories: Perch, pan fish, bullhead, walleye and pickerel. All fish must be legally caught and legal size.

There is also a special firemen’s contest. The Rich Farquhar Memorial Chief’s Cup goes to the top firemen’s team. All team members must belong to the same fire department and the teams can be as few as one person or as many that show up.
