MyFishFinder.com Just like iceshanty but warmer
IF&W doesn't seem to keep their site updated.Can anyone point me to a site that lists all the derbies around Maine in one place?If there isn't one that anyone can think of, I will volunteer to maintain the list and keep it updated online if you folks could just send me the info for them. All I seem to get is a very scattered result of a derby here and there, but no good listing.ThanksLloyd M
Just curious if it's common to catch trout like what I see in the pictures on this pond. I'm a little jealeous seeing everyones pictures from the past few days and seeing the beautifully colored trout everyone is catching. I've caught quite a few trout in my day, some in the 2-3 pound class, but not with the coloring I have seen from down south. The derby would be quite a hike for me, but I'd love to catch a nice trout like that and when better then a time when I can help out some kids as well.
The maine ice anglers association has a list of derbies on there website

FYI, I thought you folks would be interested in this...The Moosehead Lake Chamber of Commerce is sponsoring the 1st annual Moosehead Lake Togue Ice Fishing Derby with Ricky Craven this winter. The weekend fishing derby is scheduled for Jan 26th and 27th. This derby will help IF&W reach its management goal of removing lake trout from the lake and raise money for some local and national charities. There will be cash prizes for the 3 biggest lake trout: $1,500 for 1st, $750 for 2nd, and $375 for 3rd. Contestants will also get a ticket for each small fish they bring in, for entry in a drawing for other prizes. There will also be 3 Grand Door Prizes (no fish required to win) including: 1st Prize: Ice Fishing and camping package donated by Indian Hill Trading Post: $1,200 value That is the same weekend as the Horne pond tournament, and the weekend before we head up to Moosehead. - Otter Magnum Sled with hitch and cover - Heritage traps package with hooks and line - 22 inch Trap basket with outside cover - Jiffy 8 inch ice auger - Ice Skimmer and Plano bait bucket - Underwater 12 volt fish camera - Coleman camping package including tent, sleeping bags, stove, and lantern 2nd Prize: 10x10 cedar deck with rails donated by Moosehead Cedar Log Homes: $600 value 3rd Prize: One night stay donated by Moosehead Hills Cabins (some restrictions apply): $215 value.You can check out the Chamber’s webpage to learn more at: http://www.mooseheadlake.org. So come out and enjoy the wilderness setting of Moosehead Lake, assist IF&W in managing the lake, and help raise a few dollars for some of Ricky’s favorite charities
Mister Obrey-Ive read where all those togue in Moosehead are causing problems for the salmon and this derby is part of managing that situation by thinning out togue. Now that begs the question ---why not do the same with Moosehead bass? No doubt, thinning out bass would help Moosehead brookies. As a side benefit--- I bet a bass derby would even help salmon----bass eat smelt too. Not trying to cause a stir--- Im just sayin…. maybe Im missing something
They told us we couldnt have anymore bass turneys on the lake becouse of our boats would hurt the native brook trout.I still dont understand what the difference is some of the other boats have bigger motors than us?Most of the time we use our trollingmotors didnt no that those would hurt the trout and to top it all off we catch and release all the trout and salmon.
