NORWAY — Norway-Paris Fish & Game will host the annual ice fishing derby on Saturday and Sunday, Feb. 24 and 25. Fish caught in any area lakes and ponds may be entered into the derby.
The club will offer cash prizes for the largest bass, togue, pike, salmon, pickerel, brown trout and brook trout/splake in the adult category. The junior winners, 12 and under, will receive a trophy in each category.
The junior winners and their families will be invited to the regular monthly potluck dinner meeting Wednesday, March 21, to receive their trophies. Derby tickets are $1 and the purchase of a ticket will enter anglers in a raffle for prizes donated by area business.
Weigh-in will be at the Little Red School House on Norway Lake, Route 118. Hours are sunrise to sunset each day. Winners will be announced Sunday and the raffle prizes will be drawn at sunset. Everyone is invited to stop by for lunch, homemade goodies and fish stories.
Derby proceeds will go into the general fund and will be used to help send several local youth to the University of Maine 4-H Learning Center at Bryant Pond for a week in the summer.
NPF&G has been hosting an ice fishing derby fund raiser for more than 40 years. Tickets are available from club members, local businesses and at the door on derby days. For more information, call Sylvia at 207-739-6070.
