Wawa Ice Fishing Derby Reeling in Anglers for 29th Year

Anglers are gathering in Wawa today, as they look to reel in prizes at the 29th annual Wawa Ice Fishing Derby.
Derby Chairperson Scott Popert notes there's a big prize that doesn't even require luck out on the ice.

Popert reminds there are also five "Early Bird" prizes of $1000 and six identical prizes for the top fish from each of the three derby lakes, given out on a "pick what you want" process, the angler with the biggest fish going first.
Some tickets are still available, to be sold during registration, which runs from 1 to 10 this afternoon at the Michipicoten Memorial Community Centre
Fishing runs from 8 am to 4 pm Saturday and 8 am to 1 pm Sunday, with a dance Saturday night.
JJAM FM is live-on-location at the derby from 12 noon to 4 pm Saturday afternoon, 7 pm to 9 pm that night, and 10 am to 2 pm Sunday.
