PHIL BROOKS TROPHY

We reinstating are revitalizing and the Phil Brooks Memorial Tagger Trophy. Traditionally this award has been bestowed upon the person who tagged the most fish in a particular fishing year.

From 2018 onward the focus of the award will alter to recognize the tagger who has the greatest percentage of their fish recaptured in a particular year. The idea is to promote fish health and survivability in tagging practices – a ‘quality over numbers’ approach and also to encourage taggers to promote reporting of recaptured fish in their local areas.
