One of the state’s most popular ice fishing derbies will return for its 16th edition this weekend and the event director is urging extra caution on some waters as an expected large crowd shakes off COVID-related boredom and heads outside to participate. Event director Paul Bernier said two of the 10 waters that the Long Lake Ice Fishing Derby is contested on have been slow to freeze up and merit extra caution from anglers. The derby is set for Saturday, Jan. 30, and Sunday, Jan. 31.
