Jambalaya Challenge enters final month!

Our annual Jambalaya Challenge isn't a cooking contest, but a fishing contest. But like a good jambalaya which has many diverse ingredients, the goal of this contest is to catch as many diverse species as possible on fly rod. Click on "Jambalaya Challenge" menu above for complete details.

We're now into the final month of the 2025 Challenge, and the entries have been pouring in. If you haven't entered a species yet, don't fret that you're way behind in the standings. Every entry gets a ticket into the Consolation Drawing.  For example, enter 4 species in the Challenge and you get 4 tickets in the drawing. More entries = greater chances to win!
 
The contest ends November 30th, so there's plenty of time to add entries.

Here are the current standings in the ADULT Division:

Brad Dunne  -32
Brian Roberts -32
Ben Roussel  -23
Chris Williams -19
Carlos Adams  -18
Murray Neames -18

In the YOUTH Division, Noah Roussel leads with 1 species.

Remember: the Jambalaya Challenge is as much an educational tool as it is a contest. The spreadsheet database - which is available online - let's fellow members know what species can be caught where and what times of year, and on what flies. So get busy and get those entries in!
