solopaddler Posted January 7, 2016 Report Posted January 7, 2016 I'm not quite ready to launch this promotion yet, but I'm so stoked about it I'm going to leak a little info early. I will be holding a contest for one very lucky angler to join me August 6-13 at Frontier Lodge on the east arm of Great Slave! We will be guided by Corey Myers who is an unbelievably nice young man and truly excellent angler. Corey has been guiding at Frontier for years and his good humor and skill will add a lot to this trip! There will be a number of other companies sponsoring this contest, meaning whoever wins is going to get a pretty epic prize package besides just the trip itself! Epic trophy lake trout, giant pike, and "maybe" the best arctic grayling fishing in the world in the Stark River right next to the lodge. Have a look at this: And Frontier's website: http://www.frontierfishinglodge.com/ To say I'm excited about this is an understatement, details to follow!
Sinker Posted January 7, 2016 Report Posted January 7, 2016 Yes, I would love to, but I will be on my 3rd week of a trip to NFLD then. Bummer....sort of. S.
4x4bassin Posted January 7, 2016 Report Posted January 7, 2016 Ahhhhhh let me think about this one for a second , Yes !!!!
solopaddler Posted January 7, 2016 Author Report Posted January 7, 2016 Don't have all the details yet, but this will not be a draw, I can tell you the winner will be chosen by a panel of judges. I'll likely have entrants include a photo and 50 words on why they should win. My educated guess is anyone who participates will likely have pretty decent odds of winning.
bigugli Posted January 7, 2016 Report Posted January 7, 2016 What's there to think about!!!!! On my bucket list since I was a boy watching Red Fisher on TV.
mr blizzard Posted January 7, 2016 Report Posted January 7, 2016 Mike I am in there as well,,,,and the cost of the flight will be cheaper lol
Dara Posted January 7, 2016 Report Posted January 7, 2016 Yup, I'm in. I will likely be there some time this summer anyway
AKRISONER Posted January 7, 2016 Report Posted January 7, 2016 i will 100% be entering this contest, as long as us young guns are allowed!
Rod Caster Posted January 7, 2016 Report Posted January 7, 2016 I was thinking we could do Nipissing instead. What do you think? ?
quickme Posted January 7, 2016 Report Posted January 7, 2016 DEFINITELY COUNT ME IN!! Thank you for the opportunity!
solopaddler Posted January 7, 2016 Author Report Posted January 7, 2016 FWIW there will be a cost to enter, although I don't know what that will be yet. It won't be an insane amount though. The premise being I need to raise some capital so the spring issue of the magazine can be printed.

I'm not sure yet although there's no way it'll be much more than $100. My guess is 10 bucks would get more entries. If it IS $100 your odds are going to be pretty excellent.
solopaddler Posted January 7, 2016 Author Report Posted January 7, 2016 I'm in no matter the cost What, Chris didn't tell you I'd fish you to death if you're in the same boat as me???
DRIFTER_016 Posted January 7, 2016 Report Posted January 7, 2016 I would enter but you already told me I can't win cause we're friends. Sooooooooooooooo.......................
ckewley Posted January 7, 2016 Report Posted January 7, 2016 What, Chris didn't tell you I'd fish you to death if you're in the same boat as me??? I'm always up for a challenge

chris.brock Posted January 8, 2016 Report Posted January 8, 2016 What, Chris didn't tell you I'd fish you to death if you're in the same boat as me??? Yes, I already warned him. Cool contest, I'm looking forward to hearing how it all plays out.
ketchenany Posted January 8, 2016 Report Posted January 8, 2016 If I could get our "friends" at tourism to spring for it I would be in, well sort of, they frown on out-of-province stories. Good luck to the winner!
