With just days left before the annual Wawa Ice Fishing Derby, organizers are reminding participants to stay off the lakes.
According to derby rules, there is no fishing on the Wawa, Hawk, and Manitowik Lakes for any derby contestants for the rest of the week, until fishing officially opens for the derby Saturday morning.
Derby committee member Melanie Farrington reminds of the derby's new prize structure.
Farrington encourages everyone to get their tickets ahead of the 33rd annual derby, which arrives Friday, running through Sunday, March 2nd.
