Okay, folks, we are T-minus five days from the start of my favorite month of the year, as well as the kickoff of the 2017 “20 Days in September” Contest. The concept is a simple one: we all fish our butts off for a full month, documenting our experiences and fish in photos. Then we pick ten finalists, and you all vote for the winners.

The prizes this year are killer:
- First Place: A Helios 3 Fly Rod.
- Second Place: A Mirage Fly Reel.
- Third Place: A pair of Orvis Made-in-the-USA Nippers.
- If you’re worried that your photography skills aren’t up to snuff, don’t worry: we also give away a pair of nippers to one randomly selected participant.
Download the calendar below to help you keep track of your time on the water. Can you get to 20 days? I can tell you from experience that it’s easier than it sounds.
We will post the complete rules, as well as terms and condition, on Friday.
