Catch a Pikeminnow, Win $1000
It’s not too often you get to do something you love, something you consider a leisurely way to spend a day, and get $1,000 for doing it. The Pikeminnow Reward Program is offering a total of $60,000 in special money prizes in weekly drawings this August for fishermen who catch pikeminnows during the week and submit an entry form. The Bonneville Power Administration pays for catches of northern pikeminnow because they prey on young salmon in Oregon rivers.
Weekly drawings will reward $1,000 prizes to 15 anglers each week. You can find information on registration stations and how to catch pikeminnows at http://www.pikeminnow.org. So maybe you were wondering whether to go fishing tomorrow given the warm weather. If money motivates you, this may be a great incentive to head out to the Columbia for some pikeminnow catching.
