Plans are underway for an ice fishing derby to be held at Plunkett Pond in Benedicta on Saturday, March 5 from 5 a.m. until 5 p.m. The derby is sponsored by Sherman Area Memorial VFW Post 2299.
The derby is being held a week earlier than in the past years. Last year the derby had to be cancelled at the last minute due to poor ice conditions, when a week earlier the ice had been prime for good fishing. Right now the ice is in good condition for a good day of fun for fishermen — young and old.
Twenty tagged pickerel will be up for grabs, with $2,000 in prizes. Fishermen may register all day up until 4 p.m. No fish can be turned in after 4 p.m. All Maine fishing laws will apply.
Hot dogs, soda and coffee will be available on site.
For more information call Wayne at 365-4832 or Bill at 365-4259.
