Curlew Lake taps food, fishing, music Sept. 25-26
FISHING – Business in the Republic, Wash., area are creating what may be the closest thing in the region to a complete fishing tournament weekend. Bass/Blues/BBQ & Brews will debut Sept. 25-26 at Curlew Lake based out of Black Beach Resort.
Bass fishing in the Ferry County lake can range from good to shockingly good if a tiger musky attacks your lure.
Music from four blues bands will be free. The brew pub in Republic is involved and the resort is offering discounts on cabins, camping and RV hookups, said spokeswoman Mary Masingale.
Bass teams of two anglers a $60 entry.
These and other anglers can compete for prizes in contests for tiger musky and pike minnow.
Kids attending will be encouraged to join the lake associations “perch purge” to reduce numbers of the illegally introduced species.
“We’ll have some special contests for kids – mostly focusing on Sunday, with some prizes like rods and tackles,” Masingale said.
