About this Event
Damascus Trout Days
Join us in Damascus, Virginia in September for a trout fishing tournament & festival. Trout Days will be held on the portions of Laurel Creek and Beaverdam Creek within town limits and will be limited to 200 registered anglers each.
Registration is $90/adult, $45/youth. Trout Days is a catch-and-release tournament, single hook, artificial lures only, no powerbait or bait of any kind. A current Virginia freshwater fishing license is required and state regulations apply. A stocking is scheduled prior to the event and 200 of the stocked trout will be tagged. The fishing tournament is open from 5:00 PM until dusk on Friday, from dawn to dusk on Saturday, and from dawn until noon on Sunday.
Awards will be determined by a trout tag lottery on Sunday after the tournament. Each trout tag collected equals one entry; the more tagged trout you catch, the more chances to win! Prizes include cash awards of up to $1,000 each, plus a mix of gear, guided trip, and other sponsored items. Also included is a separate raffle for all participants on Saturday evening.
