There's a $1M fish just waiting to be caught
Quote:
PORTLAND, Ore. - One lucky angler could land a $1 million payday
if they catch a specially-tagged rainbow trout that might be in one of two Oregon lakes.
It's all part of the national 'Fish for Millions' contest sponsored
by Cabela's and wildlife agencies from across the United States.
Both Hagg Lake in Washington County and South Twin Lake in
Deschutes County were the chosen water bodies here in Oregon.
Each lake was planted with rainbow trout that have small spaghetti tags with numbers on them.
If you catch one, just check the number online and see what you won.
The contest runs now through July 7.
Other prizes include Ranger boats, a Chevy truck, Cabela's shopping sprees and fishing gear,
Costa sunglasses and Cabela's gift cards.

Hagg Lake is just outside of PDX, and will certainly have a LOT of people fishing this weekend.
South Twin is in central Oregon, and is a smaller lake with good bank-side fishing,
and boating is restricted to non-motorized craft.
If I were trying for this fish, I'd head to central Oregon.
