Graham Recreation and Parks Department issued the following announcement on June 17.
Graham-Mebane Lake sponsors several bank-fishing catfish tournaments each summer. Payout is for the three heaviest catfish caught and weighed at Graham-Mebane Lake during the tournament by three different entrants. (Entrants may weigh as many fish as they like, but only their heaviest fish will be considered.) All fish must be caught by rod, line, and hook at Graham-Mebane Lake during the tournament. There will be a 50/50 drawing during the tournament. This is an alcohol, tobacco, and vape-free event. Pets must be leashed with leash in hand and remain under positive control. Same-day, in-person signups. Live bait will be available to purchase. 2 rods per entrant. The tournament is weather permitting.
As a reminder, all people aged 16 years and older are required to have a valid fishing license to fish in North Carolina waters.
