Dimestore Fisherman to Visit Rainy River

The town of Rainy River will be the subject of a future television program.

Calgary based Dimestore Fisherman will be video-taping of a episode of its program in the community this fall.

The town's Community Coordinator Andrew Hartnell says the Rainy River Walleye Tournament will serve at the backdrop.

"They're going to be coming down to the walleye tournament and taking in the festivities," says Hartnell. "After the weekend is over, they'll be going down the river and taping their fishing show."

Funding from the town and the Rainy River Future Development Corporation are helping to bring the crew to the area.

Dimestore Fisherman can be seen on several television station both in Canada and the United States.
