Winners will be announced at the Priest River Lamanna High School gym and prizes awarded starting at 6:30 p.m. Saturday, May 2. If the winner is not there to claim their prize, the prize will be awarded to the next placer, with their prize going to the runner-up, and so on.

The fishing tournament is a fundraiser for Priest River Lamanna High School’s class of 2027. The junior class uses these funds to host events at the high school like dances, prom, pep assemblies and other school culture events.
Volunteers are needed to help manage the tournament and work with the junior class students to help weigh and record the fish weights as well as manage prizes. Contact Alexis Scott at 208661-9024 or scottalex-is580@ gmail.com.
