Another solid army of anglers lined the banks of the Brumbys Creek for the conclusion of this year’s event.

Persistence was the order of the day, as bites proved harder to come by.

The $10,000 tagged trout was as elusive as ever, with Tori managing to evade capture throughout the weekend.

Organiser Richard Goss said the town of Cressy was the real drawcard of the event.

“We couldn’t hold the event if it wasn’t for the support of Cressy,” he said.

“The community is very proud, and they feel they are giving something back to the community of Tasmania through hosting this event.

“Everyone at Cressy gets behind it and they do a great job.”

Of the 41 fish weighed on Sunday, the biggest was a 2.59-kilogram salmon caught by Cody Clarke of Invermay.

Runner up was a 2.43-kilogram rainbow trout from Brianna Willowby of Bilston.

Only one tagged fish was caught at the event.

Tori can be caught for a $100 reward before next year’s festival.
