Jocassee Outdoor Center 2007/2008 Annual Trout Fishing Tournaments

For over 20 years, JOC (formerly Hoyetts) has sponsored annual Trout tournaments at Lake Jocassee.  These tournaments have become a tradition among the die-hard local trout fishermen not only for the fishing competition, but also for the camaraderie. The ultimate goal, above and beyond the winners money, is to bring home the “wood” (the tournament championship wooden trophy plaque).  All of our tournaments are for the biggest fish caught so everyone has a fair chance of winning. After all, it only takes one fish and that one could be yours! Come join in the fun and test your skills and luck against your fellow trout anglers.

The former Jimmie Orr, was a legendary figure around Lake Jocassee and was the former owner of Hoyetts Grocery & Tackle (now known as JOC) In honor of Jimmie, JOC started the Jimmie Orr Championship in 2005/2006.
