February 11-12, 2012: The derby has not been postponed!

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 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!

Check out these New Hampshire Webcams and maybe spot some fisherman out on the ice.

Where to Get 2012 Tickets

Tickets are $30 and are available at more than a dozen locations around Lake Winnipesaukee, including AJ's Bait and Tackle, the Winnisquam Trading Post, Skelly's Market, Alton Circle Grocery and at Paugus Bay Sporting Goods.  You can also purchase tickets directly at derby headquarters in Meredith, or online via the link below.  If the event is postponed, your tickets cannot be refunded, but will be honored when the event is eventually held. A cancellation is highly unlikely. If the ice conditions in 2002 didn't warrant a cancellation of the event, nothing probably will.  

The ticket revenue goes toward prizes and generous donations to local organizations. It also goes toward the extensive fish stocking of various Lakes Region bodies of water.
