When Justin Kidd went fishing at the Yorkton Trout Pond recently he was aware a trout with a yellow tag existed in the water, eluding anglers this spring.
But, he was hopeful because the elusive fish was worth catching for more than the joy of landing a big fish.
With the trout pond full of rainbow trout the Yorkton branch of the Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation started a contest to see pictures of what was being caught.
Be the first to catch the trout with the yellow tag and you could win a fishing package and free tickets to 鈥楽un's out gun's out鈥� trap shoot set for June 15.
Well the fish was been caught but Kidd.
鈥淚 wanted to get it,鈥� he admitted, adding he has become a rather avid trout fisherman, visiting the pond after school on a fairly regular basis.
Kidd used a spin cast rod and reel with a bottom rig to lure the big trout to bite. He said it was a battle to and the trout, having to loosen the drag to keep on the retrieval. Once in the net the hook did come loose, but by then Kidd had the trout, took a photo, and won the prize.
The prize included a fishing set up that included two new rods, reels, a tackle box, lures. In addition to the trap shoot entries.
