Thank you for participating in the 2024 Rappahannock River Rockfish Open. This fundraiser, sponsored by the Aylett Country Day School Board of Directors, benefits students by helping to keep tuition costs at an affordable rate, as we continue our “traditions of excellence in education”.
On behalf of the students, parents, faculty and the ACDS Board of Directors, thank you again.
Two fish per boat may be weighed-in. Winning fish will be determined by the combined weight of the two fish OR the weight of a single fish. In the case of a tie in weight, the total length (measured from the nose to tip of tail, combined length for two fish) will serve as the tiebreaker. If still tied, the time of weigh-in will determine the winner.
