Anglers will be getting out on the ice this weekend, for the soldout 30th annual Wawa Ice Fishing Derby.
After a year without a derby - due to the COVID-19 pandemic - Chair Scott Popert notes there's been a slight change for this year.
Popert reminds there are also five "Early Bird" prizes of $1000 - for those who got their ticket by January 15th - and the $30,000 registration prize draw, which includes every ticket, even if the holder didn't fish.
While registration kicked off last night, it runs from 10 am to 10 pm today and 8 am to 12 noon Saturday - fishing runs from 8 am to 4 pm Saturday and 8 am to 1 pm Sunday.
JJAM FM will be broadcasting live updates from 11 am to 3 pm Saturday and 10 am to 2 pm Sunday.
The Wawa Goose Seniors Club is holding a bake sale at the arena starting at 11 am today.
Wawa's warning anglers against fishing at a certain part of Wawa Lake.
The Municipality's reminding that ice fishing is not permitted between the points at which Gold Street and Ontario Street terminate at Wawa Lake - due to the location of the municipal water intake - noting a distance of 1000 feet from the shoreline is a prohibited area.
