Oregon Rockfish Classic 2026

Hey all,

Not sure how widely this is spread on hear but trying to help drum up support for the ORC 2026.
Will be July 11, 2026.

There are some changes from last year. You are allowed to keep a legal limit of fish.

For the tournament it is 3 fish per species as proven by photo with tournament identifier in photo. Fish can then be released or kept up to legal limits.

If there is not enough entries by July 4th, the event will canceled. So come on out and catch some fish!

It's great that you can keep fish if you want, but have they explained the tie-breaker rule ahead of time this year? Or will it be a decision at the weigh in again?

With the format the way it is you're going to end up with a lot of ties, just like last year, and I don't see anything explaining how they will address ties in the rules: https://oregonrockfishclassic.com/orc-rules/

Yeah. I have no idea. This will be my 1st experience with this sort of scoring.. iI can for sure see how it can create issues.

I remember when the prize for 1st place was a kayak, now it's just a trophy. I miss the ORC of days past, and I have participated in 15 of them. last year was okay, but having to take photos(movies), while trying to catch fish really sucked, especially with the drift at Depoe Bay!. I am afraid that last years ORC was my last. See you all at Sunset Bay in August.
