For over 30 years, Nipawin's annual Great Northern Pike Festival has been attracting fishermen from across Canada and the USA to Tobin Lake in hopes of catching one of the 40 tagged northern pike with a total prize pool of over $92,000. Of the 40 tagged fish, 36 are tagged with a $250 prize tag, one is tagged for a Honda CRF150F7 Dirt Motorbike, and one is tagged with a major prize tag of $5,000. The final tag is for the grand prize of a 2007 Crestliner 1650 Sport Angler with Honda EFi 90 H.P. motor and EZ Loader Trailer, a package valued at over $35,000. Other prizes include a Graphite Pike Replica, a $750.00 Pineland Co-op Voucher and a guaranteed prize tag of a new 2006 Honda TRX500TM6 4x2 FourTrax valued at over $9,000. The only entrance fee is a $5.00 registration fee. This year's festival runs from June 17th to September 30th, 2007.
