The 24th annual Cranberry Portage Trout Challenge is coming up August 3rd and 4th on Big Athapap.  The Committee’s Mike Wesner says once again prizes from first to third are guaranteed.  He says first place is 35 hundred dollars, second place is 25 hundred dollars and third is 2 thousand dollars guaranteed and there’s prizes from fourth to tenth and it’s based on a hundred boat entry but they have been averaging between 50 and 60 teams so tenth is usually around 350 dollars.

You can register by calling 204-472-3044 or go to Cranberry Trout Challenge on face book.  You can register right up to the start of the tournament at a cost of 150 dollars for a team of two.
