2025 Fishing Tournament Huge Success!!

06/23/2025

First and foremost, a HUGE Thank You to our sponsors this year! Without you, it would just be another day of fishing (which is always a good day, but the prizes and trophies made this event that much more exciting for everyone involved). We wish you could have all been there as our young anglers hooked onto a trophy-winning fish... those moments alone made it all worth the effort. PS: Scroll down to see how much money was raised for the Vermont Traditions Coalition (the whole purpose of this thing).

So let's take a second to mention each LOCAL sponsor of this community fishing tournament (then, let's see the winners). If you have a chance, please support those who supported this tournament by giving them a 'like' on Facebook (maybe invite a friend to 'like' them... maybe leave a kind review?). One hand washes the other - together, we are the NEK.
