This is really cool! Cabala’s is holding a fishing contest, where the winner could win a million bucks!

More than 1000 tagged bass, walleye and trout were stocked into 60 or so lakes across the country. Lake Wallenpaupack is one of them.The tags each have a code on them. Sixty of the fish have codes eligible for first prizes. The first one to catch and register one of those winning codes gets a million dollars. The second and third get $100,000.

There are plenty of other prizes too.

It’s all part of Cabella’s “Wanna’ Go Fishing for Millions” contest. The contest started Saturday and runs through July 14th.

You must register for the contest at www.cabalas.com

Lucky are we to have bald eagles in our midst. While driving one day, just a mile form my home, a bald eagle was perched in the middle of the road. I couldn’t believe my eyes, he was gigantic and spectacular. As my car got closer, he took flight, he was guiding me. He flew low and long… leading me down the road, he was in the dead center of my windshield. He led me for what felt like an eternity but was probably about a 1/4 mile down the road. I was in awe. I’ll never forget how lucky I felt. Like I was on to something big.

The Eagle Institute is a non-profit organization dedicated to the protection of bald eagles and other birds of prey. We promote habitat conservation and a stewardship ethic. We are uniquely located in the largest wintering habitat for eagles in the northeast. Our educational and outreach efforts focus on the Upper Delaware River watershed in New York and Pennsylvania and the lower Hudson River Valley of New York. The Eagle Institute grew out of a grassroots effort of people who wanted to help protect and monitor the growing numbers of eagles who were migrating to their area every winter, and were concerned about the growing number of people who were coming to see them. Now, every winter, volunteers staff popular eagle viewing locations to help visitors find the eagles and to provide helpful information to the eagle watcher. Equipped with binoculars and telescopes, the volunteers also monitor the eagle population, looking for wing tags, leg bands and other identifying markings. Signs and interpretive displays also help educate the eagle watcher.
