The Helen Chamber of Commerce will host the 35th Annual Helen Trout Tournament on March 30. The tournament is a fishing event in which anglers of all ages can compete for a share of $4,000 in prizes.
The tournament runs from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Helen Chamber of Commerce FesHalle, on Edelweiss Strasse. There is a $25 entry fee per angler, which includes a raffle ticket and souvenir tournament tee shirt while supplies last.
Entrants must have a Georgia fishing license and trout stamp. All tournament participants must follow the Georgia Department of Natural Resources (DNR) rules for fishing in the Chattahoochee River in Helen.
The Chamber will stock the river with more than 400 pounds of tagged trout for the tournament. Organizers say the DNR will also stock the Chattahoochee River ahead of the event.
Online registrations will be accepted through March 27. In-person registration will be held on Friday, March 29, and on the morning of the tournament.
