-Anglers may not prefish spots after Thursday at 12noon. If you feel you must prefish multiple days the competitiveness is taking over and this league may not be for you. NAPRA CEO Pete Ziehler pre-fishes(prior to cut off) often for the purpose of checking river conditions out.

-No drugs, alcohol, etc. allowed before, during or after events. Failure to comply will result in a 2 event suspension.
-Anglers will not get in each others way or take spots that may hold fish in case the angler needs to move to score fish. Ask for permission to fish same areas. Failure to do so will result in a 20" deduction from your total.
-Anglers must fish the entire event and not leave barring a family emergency or illness. If you leave you will receive 50 pts
-Failure to produce pictures of fish or cheating in the process will result in IMMEDIATE removal from the league and backpay of the value of prizes given to you. Reminder, if you want a Ranger Boat join the FLW
