Larry Gulch and Daniel Allain

: The government-owned fishing lodge, on the Restigouche River in northwestern New Brunswick, was the subject of much controversy when a newspaper editor accepted a free trip there in 2013 with Daniel Allain, the chief executive officer of NB Liquor, and then it was learned that attempts were made to alter government documents, according to CBC. Now, anyone interested in a summer visit can pay a $10 application fee and put their name in for an online draw from June 15 to July 13. Larry Gulch will be open for all New Brunswickers to visit, but you'll have to win your way in. Eight names will be drawn and those winners and a guest can stay at Larry Gulch from August 22-24. In a release, Tourism, Heritage and Culture Minister Bill Fraser said: "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." Fraser points out the value of the experience to fishing fans. "Larry Gulch is one of the best destinations New Brunswick has to offer, with a breathtaking natural landscape and world-class salmon angling opportunities," he said in the release. They will be provided with fishing gear, guides, meals and accommodations free of charge. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
