The Battle on the Border July 13th, 2019  Overview We enter uncharted waters here for CKA anglers.

It sets up well for both river and lake fishing, and the…

ROY update

Hi everyone, We have posted the current ROY standings. If we missed someone, or made an error in points, let us know through a private message and we will fix it. This first list took a bit longer because we have to comb through past seasons to check that we didn’t accidentally add someone who fished before. If you know someone who is thinking about signing up, encourage them. There are still 2 events remaining to pay the member fee that allows anglers to keep points, and with three-quarters of…
