Lottery Drawing

All it takes is one fish to win!! Pick your days. Fish every day or one day and pick up to your best 18-day totals for the drawing. The last day will be a separate day. All days-up to 34 will count for the bonuses and tagged fish. Your 1-to-18 best day totals out of 34 (the last day is separate) will be used for this drawing.  Fishing more than 18 days will give you the opportunity to increase your total, catch a tagged fish, and put you in a higher bonus category. There is a limit of 2 lottery drawings per angler. There will be up to 50 lottery prizes—see the chart below—from $1000-$100, plus the extra prizes for the captain, smallest lake trout, largest lake trout, etc.  You do not have to be present to win lottery prizes. We will mail awards if we have your address and telephone number.  Anglers are limited to 2  cash lottery prizes.
