At least one person has already won a prize as the Three Lakes Chamber of Commerce is sponsoring a summer-long fishing contest on the Three Lakes Chain.
Chamber of Commerce Director Skip Brunswick says one lucky angler could win big cash and others can win too...
"...they went in with the Fish and Wildlife Association. They purchased 100 fish, got a permit to tag them, The first-fish prize is $5,000, two fish are tagged with a value of $500, 20 fish are tagged at $100 each. The remaining anglers with tagged fish win coolers...."
Brunswick says as of last week,one person had won a cooler by catching a tagged fish. You need to purchase an ID card as part of the promotion for $10.00. He says the idea is to get people interested in fishing the Three Lakes Chain of Lakes..
"...it's an exciting event. The idea is to get people to familiarize themselves with the fishing in the Three Lakes area. Proceeds help fishing management as well as promoting future events...."
