Meredith Rotary Ice Fishing Derby 2013
 

If you didn't enter last year you may have been dropped from the mailing list so here's a link to the lastest official info: http://www.meredithrotary.org/Derby_Information.html

The biggest changes are that:

the largest fish of each of the eligible species will be entered in the grand prize drawings, NO MORE TAGGED RAINBOW TROUT REQUIRED FOR A GRAND PRIZE

and, ALL PRIZES WILL BE CASH (no more ATVs etc.)

I'll be checking these forums every day to see how the sled gals are doing with their snow/ice dance efforts. Let us know how we can help. :banana:
It will be with much fear and trepidation that I will continue to read the analysis of the long range weather models. :eek:
It would also be helpful if the fisherman could post the location of any new artificial reefs (aka, GMC Jimmys) that they find under the ice. :rolleye1:

Be safe everybody.

When is it
 

The web site would be more useful if the Derby information page had the dates of the derby. I poked around their web site a bit but never found when it will be held. Maybe it is a secret?

2013 Derby
 

The Fishing Derby will be held February 9-10, 2013

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the new rules and how prizes can be won. I think I like it, because my fishing party has never caught a tagged Rainbow. I caught my first Rainbow last February during the week and it too wasn't tagged.
