Anglers will be hitting the ice this weekend, for a local derby. The 3rd Annual Dubreuilville Magpie Winter Pike Derby is coming tomorrow, featuring a registration skill prize of $5000 and prizes for the top five fish caught, as well as a $1000 early bird prize, for those who registered by January 18th. The derby runs from 8 am to 4 pm tomorrow.
Good news for participants: starting Saturday, Canadian residents can fish without a licence for the weekend, including Family Day Monday. Anglers are reminded to check ice conditions before heading out, and reminded - even without a license - they must still follow rules in the Fishing Regulations Summary.
