Ice Update...or lack thereof

[upthesaukee]

Haley Lapointe did a live feed from Meredith, talking to someone from the Derby. He said it is on, that it is a statewide event, that fishermen have been fishing for centuries and know how to do it safely. He simply cautioned everyone to be safe, fish on safe ice, and have a good time.

I agree with Ishoot308... I'll stay off the ice too.

And besides, if the ice fishing derby is cancelled, the Rotary Club as well as the local hotels would probably have to refund all their entry ticket and reservations money.....which is, all by itself, an excellent reason not to cancel the derby.

In addition to the largest fish in each category, there will be a contest for the combined weight and number of ice fisherman drowned over the course of the 3-day event. My guess is 3 with combined weight of 661.5 pounds.
