Anglers to compete in triple fish challenge at Coulee Playland

The grand prize for the Chamber of Commerce’s fourth annual Triple Fish Challenge, fittingly, is something that will make fishing easier for the winner.

The Triple Fish Challenge is scheduled for April 23-24 at Coulee Playland Resort on Banks Lake.

The grand prize is an Achilles 14-person inflatable boat and Yamaha outboard motor.

The “challenge” is to catch smallmouth bass, walleye and rainbow trout, with various levels of winners chosen in categories like the biggest fish in each species each day, total stringer weight each day, and total combined heaviest six fish for the two-day tournament.

Online registration is ongoing at grandcouleedam.org until April 21, with on-site registration April 22 from 5 to 7 p.m. and continuing during boat inspection on Saturday, April 23, from 6 to 8 a.m.

Awards will be presented an hour after the challenge is over on April 24.

Those with questions can call the Grand Coulee Dam Area Chamber of Commerce office at 633-3074 or Coulee Playland at 633-2671.
