MANITOBA, CANADA—If you ever had a hankering to fish Manitoba—or better yet, the “Fly Fishing Capital of Manitoba”—there’s never been a better time to depart chesterfield and dust off your stick. Next weekend marks the inaugural Bug Chucker Cup Stillwater tournament in the Roblin and Duck Mountain Provincial Park areas. The region was home to the Canadian Fly Fishing Championships a couple of years back.

“Besides showcasing the region’s popular fly fishing lakes, the Bug Chucker Cup also aims to promote the education and growth of stillwater fly fishing amongst national and international anglers. The actual competition will take place on June 1 & 2, 2012, with registration and a welcoming event being held on May 31, 2012. Each participant will fish on two different lakes each day. The lakes will be located within the vicinity of the community of Roblin and Duck Mountain Provincial Park.”

Top prize: 100 Loonies ($97.2344 USD after exchange rate)….
