THERE WILL BE 15 tagged fish swimming in Big Bear Lake during Saturday's promotion. If the winning tagged fish is caught, ONE lucky contestant will win a brand new Ford truck.

It's Only $75 for an adult and $50 for a junior.

To sign up by phone, get an entry mailed to you, or to get additional information call (949) 366-0030 ext. 38 or 40. You can also find entry forms in each issue of Western Outdoor News.

As has been the case since our first tournament, raffle prizes will be abundant, and in addition to divisional awards and free goodie bags for the first 600 anglers, anyone can win the grand prize of a brand new Klamath boat and EZ-loader trailer, with a 25 HP Mercury outboard motor. A tagged fish worth a brand new Ford truck, and a Sea Eagle inflatable boat is also up for grabs.

THE KLAMATH 15 ADVANTAGE S is clearly built with fishermen in mind, as its simplicity and fishing-forward design ooze from each and every well-built nook and cranny.
