Falcon Lake Tagged fish contest

We've brought the excitement of the Winter Fish-Off to the summer time by adding 6 tagged fish into Falcon Lake worth a total of $10,000. Imagine, every time you set the hook on Falcon Lake this summer you might have thousands of dollars on the end of the line!

Anyone can participate. Just buy your ticket for $20 at any of our local retailers and you'll have a chance of winning thousands of dollars for catching a fish!  

How to claim your prize!

These three steps could get you $5000.00!

#1: Hero shot!

Take a picture of yourself holding the tagged fish with the tag visible. (Try and smile cause you just won some big money!) 

#2: a picture of the tagged fish with your contest ticket!

You must have purchased your contest ticket before catching the fish. The tickets are not transferable so you cant borrow your buddies ticket. We have a record of every ticket purchased and there will be an interview to ensure you abide by the rules of the contest. Cheating is bad Karma, and Karma is important in fishing. 

#3 remove the tag and bring it to the Faloma Beach Marina 

Cut the tag off the fish and release the fish to be caught again. Bring the tag and the pictures to Faloma and once the catch is verified we'll write you a check for the Value of the Fish 

Sounds like fun! where can I get my tickets?
