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.
Emphasizing they don't want anyone to miss out, derby board member Melanie Farrington encourages anglers to get tickets now.
Registration for the derby runs from 8 am to 8 pm Friday, March 6th, with fishing on Saturday and Sunday.
