Fish for $2.2 million Cabela’s prize at Sprague or CdA lakes
FISHING — Starting Saturday and running through July 14, registered anglers have a chance to win valuable prizes by catching tagged fish in designated waters in 19 states, including Washington and Idaho.
Cabela’s, partnering with the Outdoor Channel, has just announced that Sprague Lake and Potholes Reservoir in Washington and Lake Coeur d’Alene in Idaho will be among the waters that might have tagged fish anglers can turn in for valuable prizes — including a grand prize of up to $2.2 million — in the company’s “Wanna Go Fishing for Millions?’ promotion.
Nearly 1,000 fish that have been caught, tagged and released in 67 lakes or reservoirs, company officials say. The goal is to encourage more people to enjoy the great outdoors, they said.
Register online to qualify for the prizes should you catch a tagged fish.
At least one fish is worth $1 million, but an angler can more than double the prize by catching the fish while using gear from contest sponsors including an Abu Garcia reel spooled with Berkley line, Costa sunglasses and Sperry Top-Sider shoes.
Cabela’s is celebrating its 50th anniversary by offering a $10,000 shopping spree to the angler who redeems the 50th tag.
Additional prizes are designated for the first tag redeemed in each participating state.
