TFC 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.
