KEDGWICK (GNB) – Larry’s Gulch will now be open to the public through an annual lottery draw.

“Larry’s Gulch is one of the best destinations New Brunswick has to offer, with a breathtaking natural landscape and world-class salmon angling opportunities,” said Tourism, Heritage and Culture Minister Bill Fraser. “While it is a terrific place to conduct government business with outside stakeholders and investors, our government believes New Brunswickers should also have the opportunity to experience it. I encourage all interested anglers to enter the draw for the chance to have an unforgettable stay at Larry’s Gulch Lodge.”

Interested individuals may apply for the draw online from June 15 to July 13. A $10 application fee will be charged.

This year, trips will be drawn for August 22-24. Eight individuals will have their tickets drawn for these dates. Each winner will be able to bring one other person with them. They will be provided with fishing gear, guides, meals and accommodations free of charge.

The winners will also be required to purchase a salmon angling license. Licenses are available for purchase online, at vendors, and at all Service New Brunswick Centres.
