Tarryall Fishing Club Rules and Policies

TARRYALL FISHING CLUB, INC.

2025 Rules and Policies

Policy: The Tarryall Fishing Club, Inc. (TFC, Inc.) is owned and managed by Stagestop and Lost Park Ranch and has been formed to manage and stock those portions of the Tarryall River and Ponds for the benefit of property owners in Stagestop, Lost Park Ranch, and other members, if any, of the TFC, Inc.  The membership will be owners of tracts in Stagestop and Lost Park Ranch.  The intent is not to over-crowd the river at any time, and memberships will be restricted in order to maintain that objective.  Rules and policies are subject to change as necessity dictates.

Membership: Membership is limited to lot owners and their legal dependents (one membership per lot).  As stated in the Bylaws of Tarryall Fishing Club, Inc., “No owner shall have more than one (1) membership per lot.  Multiple ownership for the purpose of using the fishing rights is a violation of the intent and purpose of the privileged use of the fishing rights.”  Memberships by themselves are not transferable or sellable.  They pass on to new owners at the closing of a property sale in Stagestop or Lost Park Ranch.

Warning:  Violations of rules may be grounds for suspension. Failure of members or their guests to follow TFC Rules and Policies will result in the issuance of a “TFC Rules and Policies Violation Letter” to the sponsoring member(s).  In any consecutive 2-year period, the penalties for violations are as follows:

• First Violation:                                                    Warning Letter
• Second Violation:                                              $50.00 Fine
• Third & Subsequent Violations:                      $100.00 Fine (each occurrence)

Failure to pay a fine as outlined in the issued “TFC Rules and Policies Violation Letter” may result in temporary suspension of the member’s fishing rights. During temporary suspension, a member or his/her guests continuing to fish the TFC Leased Waters as well as the LPR pond or the SS ponds will be considered “Trespassing” and subject to civil trespassing charges.

Rules:   Be considerate of others.
