PIERRE, S.D. - Fishing tournament organizers need to make sure that they have filled out the proper Game, Fish and Parks Department paperwork when planning their event.
Applications for fishing tournaments and special events must be filed with GFP no later than 30 days before the event is scheduled to take place. “During that 30 days the department can collect the necessary signatures and take care of any special requirements,” according to Jeanne Uecker, special events permits coordinator for GFP. “Some events will require a proof of insurance or a special waiver.”
The 2009 application includes important information for tournament organizers like the dates during the year when fishing tournaments aren’t allowed to be held as well as the dates when salmon and walleye catch and release tournaments are restricted.
Completing the event paperwork as soon as possible helps all of the parties involved avoid confusion. “This advance notice helps us make sure that there isn’t another event already planned at the same time at the same location,” Uecker said.
Fishing tournament and special event applications may be found on the GFP Web site at http://www.sdgfp.info/Publications/SpecEventFishTournApplForm.pdfor they can be obtained from a conservation officer or park manager.
