ICE FISHING DERBY |
26th Annual Fishing Derby January 17-18, 2009
The Annual Ice Fishing Derby is held at Saratoga Lake the third weekend of January every year.
Over $6000.00 in guaranteed cash payout are awarded in prizes!
Prove your skills at
Saratoga Lake in Saratoga, Wyoming while competing for over $6000 in cash
prizes. Hourly cash awards of $100 will be awarded for the largest fish
measured that hour. The big prize money is $2000 for first place, $1000 for
second and $500 for third. Small Fry (under age 14) can enter the contest for a
chance to win the grand prize of a $200 savings bond and a merchandise
package, as well as hourly awards of $20. Door prizes will also be given
each hour. And keep your eyes open for the bounty fish, a fish with a pink tag
behind the dorsal fin—the first bounty fish to be caught during the derby is
worth $500!
Registration is $30 for Adults and $10 for Small Fry (under 14). You may register at local businesses that sell fishing licenses.
You may also register at the Chamber office (210 W. Elm) on Friday night until 8pm, or at the lake on Saturday morning starting at 6am.
The derby hours are 7am to 5pm Saturday and 7am to 2pm Sunday.
