Crystal Lake Ice Fishing Derby POSTPONED

GRAY, Maine - Following the recommendations of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife Commissioner Chandler Woodcock, the Crystal Lake Ice Fishing Derby Board of Directors has decided to postpone the Crystal Lake Ice Fishing Derby and Kid's Derby on Saturday January 28, 2012 to the date of Saturday, February 25, 2012. The event is postponed due to concerns for the public’s safety regarding ice conditions.

The annual Crystal Lake Ice Fishing Derby was expected to attract over 6,000 anglers. Benefits from the derby support Maine military families, the Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife's Hooked On Fishing program, and local community schools.
