February 11-12, 2006 -
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 a new pickup truck. 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.
