February 7-8, 2009 - The town of Meredith is the host of one of the Lakes Regions biggest winter events; the Great Rotary Fishing Derby. Every year ice fisherman from across the country and over seas gather in Meredith for a weekend of fun, fishing, and seeing what your tolerance for cold and frostbite is. In the end, the payoff is being one of the lucky few who gets to experience the pride of having their catch hung up on the wall of fame, and winning an amazing grand prize. So, if your driving around the Lakes Region and find the frozen waters of Lake Winnipesaukee transformed into a metropolis of fishing shanties of every shape, size, and color, the fishing derby must be underway. If there is a sense of fierce competition in the in the air, it must be near prize time.
