WADDINGTON -- Waddington Sons of the American Legion’s “Come Hook Some Cold Hard Cash” Ice Fishing Derby is set for Saturday, Feb. 12. This year is the 10th annual installment, bigger than ever with expanded boundaries and new prizes. Veteran anglers and novices are welcome.

The boundaries include Cole’s Creek Marina, Brandy Brook and Fobare’s Pond, but have been expanded this year to include Big Sucker Brook, within the Village of Waddington. The weigh-in station will remain at the Brandy Brook Boat Launch.

The derby starts at sun-up Saturday and ends at 4 p.m.

Over $2,000 in cash and prizes will be awarded, including a new $50 prize for the best decorated ice shack. More prizes: $500 for the heaviest live northern pike, and $50 each for heaviest walleye and perch.

In addition there will be a 50/50 raffle and numerous door prizes.

Adult registration is $25 per person. Children under 16 fish free and have their own bracket. Prizes will be awarded immediately following the derby at the Champion-Hobkirk American Legion Post 420 on Fenton Street, Waddington.

Every registered child who attends the awards ceremony will receive a prize.

Anglers may preregister in Waddington at Nature’s Trophies and Bait Shop, Main St., and the American Legion Post 420, Fenton St. Anglers may register the day of the derby at the Brandy Brook Boat Launch weigh-in station. Everyone fishes at their own risk.
