The Great Meredith Rotary Ice Fishing Derby
February 13-14, 2021
The Saturday weigh-in deadline is reverting to its original time of 4 pm. If you catch a fish on Saturday and miss the weigh-in deadline, you can submit your fish on Sunday morning. Eligibility is determined by those who had the largest fish in each category (as defined in the Derby Rules). These are the new rules:
- The three top prizes will be awarded to the angler with a valid derby ticket whose name is drawn on Sunday during the Grand Prize Drawing from anglers who are eligible. Eligibility is determined by those who had the largest fish (as defined in the Derby Rules) in each category during the Derby weekend.
- The top three prizes will be drawn from a group of 7 potential top category prize winners.
- Each angler's name will be entered into the Grand Prize Drawing only once, no matter how many fish that person has caught.
- The five heaviest Black Crappie, Cusk, Lake Trout, Pickerel, Rainbow Trout, Yellow Perch and White Perch will be hung on the board on both Saturday and Sunday for prizes of $500, $200, $150, $100 and $50.
