Hi Y'all
The 2007 Meredith Rotary Great Fishing Derby is ON for the weekend of February 10. A local photographer took a photo of The Broads on 1/30, showing significant ice across the Lake. Although I sincerely doubt anybody goes fishing out in the middle of The Broads!!! There are many bob houses on many lakes right now and the cold weather is slated to continue.
Gov. Lynch will be making a proclamation related to the Derby next week.
If you haven't yet purchased your Derby ticket, you can go to
www.meredithrotary.org for instructions, or buy your ticket at a number of shops (listed on the
www.meredithrotary.org website), or come to the Meredith Rotary Derby Trailer, which will be set up next to the Meredith Docks, by the boat ramp. Ticket sales at the trailer begin Friday, February 9 from 8am to midnight. Saturday ticket sales at the trailer will be from 5am to 12:00pm for prizes. Any tickets sold after 12pm on Saturday will not be considered for the “big” prizes, only the hourly drawings for $100 cash prizes. For other information call the Meredith Rotary Club at 603-279-7600.
Also, remember the FREE Fishing Derby Ice Fishing Panel Discussion on Friday night, February 9 at the Mill Falls from 7pm to 9pm. This is a first-come, first-served type of seminar with seating for 60. There will be door prizes and lots of fun! You can find information about this on the
www.meredithrotary.org website by clicking the button “Hot Tips for Ice Fishing”
Good luck to everyone!
