Tomorrow is the Lake of the Prairies Ice Fishing Derby.

The person who catches the longest fish wins 12500 dollars. There are more cash prizes, donations and fishing packages from sponsors and a raffle throughout the day.

Sadie McCauley, Executive Director for Asessippi Parkland Tourism, says you can enter the raffle even if you’re not fishing.

The money earned goes towards promoting the area.

McCauley says it’ll be a great day and the weather will be beautiful. They’re hoping to get between 400 and 500 people at the ice fishing derby.

A few rules McCauley thinks people should know are no electronics, bring a pail to mark your hole and have fun.

To register in the Parkland you can go to Russel Video or the Russel Video Centre for Russel, Work & Sport Den in Roblin, Sticky's Bait & Tackle in Dauphin, or Friendly's Grocery Co-op in Inglis.
