Redfish Royale is a catch and release, fly-only fishing tournament born out of two passions: fighting human trafficking and fly fishing.
November 1-14, 2026
Strange combination? Perhaps…
But we are making a run to support and strengthen our communities in these two specific ways.
If you are unaware of the cancer of human trafficking and sexual exploitation in our communities, it will not take you long to find it if you know where to look. Hadassah’s Hope is a 501C(3) faith based organization that was founded in Jacksonville, Florida in 2017. They are the tip of the spear in our communities, working with local and federal law enforcement and other community resources to rescue (literally) women and help them build a better future for themselves and their children.
The core of the fishing community has always been the local “bait shop.”
We hung out there as kids and have grown up learning much of what we know from the professionals that own and run the local shop. The Redfish Royale is also a “shop based” tournament to raise support for and awareness of the local shop and what is important to them.
