thats the same day as the hopewell derby... hmmmmm.... which to fish???

Hopewell Derby isn't that on Mar.1.

Hopewell is definatly the 1st of March as of right now. My personal derby up at my cottage is that day so I will not be there for the first time in a few years...Almost won largest perch last year, came in 2nd to a fellow Fher...Still think it was loaded with splitshot

oh yes yes.... i've got another derby through my fathers work that i will be fishing that day... ooops...

What lake is the derby being held on????????????

It is on Mississippi Lake near Carleton Place....If you need directions just go to Baitcasters link on the main page of this forum...

Ok thanks A.F

i'll check it out.....

this derby sound lots of fun !!!

how many people attend usualy????

Last year with the weird ice conditions I think we had about 75 participants - however the 2 previous years we had over 125 people attend.

wow thats exelent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sounds like you guys have a lot of fun there and good job for the donations!!!!

hope you get good ice and nice weather this year!!!!

Well it certainly looks like we will have good ice - lots of vehicles driving on it now and with the warm weather tomorrow we should get rid of alot of the recent snow. Although we have a road plowed out to your shacks it would be nice if vehicles could go other places if they wanted. You're fine with a 4x4 but don't try it with a car right now!
I'm watching the weather every day - by Thursday they should be somewhat accurate! Right now it's looking fairly mild (about -2) - maybe a bit of precipitation. As long as the winds aren't gale force we'll take that!
Don't forget your food bank donations!

i'll be showing up with 8 people as long as i dont have to plow. the joys of a snowplow driver during winter when all he wants to do is ice fish.

That's great Adrien - I hope you can make it. And, I know what you mean about the plowing - we've had to do a lot of that ourselves this year. Don't know if you've ever been out to the store but wait till you see the hill! And, we try to keep a road plowed out to the shacks.

Havn't been to your store yet. This will be a first for me. I hope i can make it out.
