PPL’s Lake Wallenpaupack Welcomes Anglers in National Fishing Contest

Somewhere in the depths of Lake Wallenpaupack a largemouth bass, walleye or a rainbow trout may be swimming with a $1 million tag and waiting for a juicy worm as part of the nationwide “Wanna’ Go Fishing for Millions?” contest sponsored by Cabela’s®, a leading outfitter of hunting, fishing and outdoor equipment.

“Lake Wallenpaupack is a popular destination for anglers throughout the year, and now they have another reason to come here in search of a possible million-dollar fish and other tagged fish that qualify for other prizes,” said Paul Canevari, PPL’s community relations director for the Pocono region.

“The contest is being conducted in several locations across the country, so when Cabela’s approached the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission about a suitable location in Pennsylvania, we were honored that they chose Lake Wallenpaupack,” he said. “If you haven’t visited Lake Wallenpaupack, now’s a good time to experience it and come prepared with your lucky lures and love of the outdoors.”

Lake Wallenpaupack is one of 12 lakes in Pennsylvania and one of 19 states nationwide participating in the Cabela’s contest with fish stocked with prize-winning tags. Bodies of water chosen for the contest are in states where Cabela’s has retail stores. The contest started Saturday, May 5 and continues through July 8. Prize winners will be announced online after July 8.
