SATT...

Only one more week till registration opens for the first Lund Virtual Fishing League of 2021! Who is getting excited?

Some of the steps you can take now to prepare your teams, are to download the Reel LiveWell and Timestamp apps from Apple and Google Play stores on everyone's phones, and pick up an approved ruler. 

You MUST have one of these approved rulers to fish the SATT or VFL.  The yellow Hog Trough, or Scheels plastic with the black lines are the easiest to read and cradles the fish a bit when taking pictures.  On the Scheels you would want to take a black marker, and color the lines as well to make it easier like that hog trough.  These two are by far the easiest to see fish on..


There is some rebranding of the Hog Trough ruler like Yeti, which is fine if all the marks are in black so we can see them.  It is the anglers responsibility to have a ruler and photo that we can see 1/4 marks,  if we can't read anything it will be tossed. All fish will be measured on approved rulers listed below, Get them now!

• Hog Trough reasonably priced, easiest to see with pictures (Make sure to get the one with the black lines), Scheels Aluminum Board reasonably priced, good markings, Scheels Plastic Board reasonably priced, (If you use this board you need to color all the lines in with a black fine tip permanent marker), Ketch Board expensive, easy to see with pictures I like the candy apple red to see better, Lund Aluminum Ruler, easy to see comes with many of the Lund boats, Judge Ruler, medium price is what AIM Walleye circuit uses for CRR, available at Thorne Bros. 
• It is your responsibility to make sure the lines are legible and we can read them in the photos, as Jayme says "if you can't read it we can't read it".
