Description
According to a local historian, “Fuller’s Tackle Shop was not just a store; it was an institution! At it’s peak, before the rise of large sporting good chain stores, Fullers had three locations (Park Rapids, Grand Rapids, and Bemidji), plus a wholesale business that supplied hundreds of resorts and stores throughout northern Minnesota.”
This broadsheet was issued by the store to promote its annual booster fishing contest held in 1978. Over 100 available prizes are listed for a variety of categories including pike, bass, trout, and more. Accompanying rules are limited, stating that anyone may enter and any fish caught in the territory depicted within the maps on the verso is eligible for a prize.
The maps include all of Itasca State Park, the Mantrap Valley, and Crow Wing Lakes Region. Bait shops and fishing lodges are labeled individually within the image.
