Collingwood Ice derby

[jam1324]

There's a 20$ per person to enter derby Feb 15th in the Collingwood harbor. Think you can purchase tickets at the happy hooka in town. I have ice fished a lot in the last 2 years but only 1 or 2 times in Collingwood even tho I live here so I have no idea how to fish the harbor in the winter. My son and I are excited to be signing up regardless of our confidence level and hopefully, they get a good turn out!

Wait 'til you hear the one about "some guy caught a pike over by the far wall"....
Same story, ....every year, .....since 1972!

Slim pick'n in that there harbour! I wish you luck -- I assume the proceeds go to the hatchery(?), so it's for a good cause.

(Pssst! Lake trout opens up north that weekend....?)

I am assuming some of the funds will be allocated to the hatchery as its run by the Georgian Triangle anglers association. We could use more money at the hatchery for sure. The troughs that bring in water to the tanks up there are rusting apart and there are going to be some major repairs that need done this spring.

Hopefully it will be a decent turnout.

Tournament on right now, my wife just lost a huge pike before the hole. 1 more hour to go fingers crossed!

Finished with nothing. Had a blast tho, the wife seems to have got the fishing bug after getting a big pike on her rod. Was a pretty good turn out, everyone started blowing away by noon as the wind picked up but other than that it was great!

any one hear the results of the Collingwood derby ??

2 pike landed 1rst and 2nd. 6 and 5 pounds, 3rd prize rolled into the proceeds that were going to the school hatchery program at Cameron st public school I believe. Think there were 5 or 6 Pike on 2 were landed and about 15-20 participants. Fishing was alot better than I thought it would be, we saw three Pike and had one taker, was a giant too. If my wife landed it she would of won.
