The Lonestar

25 On The Fly

Hosted by ORVIS - 2024 dates coming soon!

The mission is simple. Over 2 days, teams of 2 anglers will plan a road trip in search of 25 different species on the fly. Catches will be logged by video with a smartphone, then released.

The Lonestar 25 on the fly 2024 Species List - Coming soon!

Pick your partner, team name, and start planning. You will need a Plan A, B, & C!

All scoring will be done remotely in real time. The team captain will need to download the Cinebody app to their iPhone (or use the browser platform for Android), to log the species caught with a short video that ID’s the fish, the team, and a successful release.

  • Any Public Waterway in Texas is open for anglers to fish (wade, kayak, SUP, motor boat, guide boat)

  • 2 Person Teams to Catch. Video. Release. fish on a list in which different species are worth points. It's not about the biggest fish, but how many different species you catch.

  • Teams are permitted to have a 3rd non-angling teammate to help with driving, boat launching, photography, and logistics.

  • Side Team Video Challenges - Will be announced

  • Anglers have TWO days to fill their score card.

Official rules be uploaded as we get closer to the event, but for now - reserve your spot!

In this 2 angler weekend long fly fishing tournament meets scavenger hunt, teams will compete to catch the most different species on a fly on public land in Texas. Utilizing a specialized cell phone app called "CINEBODY," 25 On The Fly teams will participate in this fun, challenging angling scavenger hunt. Teams will be tasked in chasing 20+ eligible species and using their cell phones to CATCH-VIDEO-RELEASE fish in a manner that follows safe handling practices as outlined by the Keep Fish Wet organization. As teams submit catches to the tournament platform, videos will populate in real time on the judges control panel where species count and point values will be tallied.

The winners will be established soon after, and whomever catches the highest number of species on the list & participates in the side challenges will be our winning team! You can find out more about the rules of the tournament and the timeline of events here.
