Yes, entry fee is $10. there is $13,000 in prizes. Its starts 8am tomorrow morning and goes till 4pm sun day. Its on 2 lakes, Victor and Grande cache lakes which are a few minutes away from each other. There is Brooks in one lake and rainbows in the other I believe. Suckers also count and theres some big suckers in that lake.

So how did you make out skeeter? It was freaken cold on Sat., I got a little frost bite on my hand while dropping my lines down the hole. I was proud of my daughter for sticking it out for both days and she also won the prize for her age catagory. Our biggest fish were 1lb 7oz and 1lb 4oz for rainbows and 1lb 1oz for suckers. A friend of mine caught a ling around 4 1/2 lb and took the prize for biggest fish and the ling category. The biggest rainbow was 1lb 11oz and the biggest brookie was 1lb 4oz. It's hard to believe nothing over 2 lbs was caught, when I was a kid we were catching rainbows in victor lake up to 10lbs.

I went out Saturday morning but the heat and fan in my truck died and I have no ice tent or anything like that so I had to pack it in, I went back out when it warmed up a bit but I didn't get much fishing in, I was pretty bummed out.
