I hope I am not the only one that was confused about the date of the actual 4th Annual Bonaparte Lake Ice Fishing Derby. When I was searching for information on the event, I found a second derby scheduled for January 31st. This one is supporting Veterans, and the annual event that most people are familiar with is on Saturday, January 24th. I found out about this one on their Facebook page. I noticed that the event on the 24th has cash and prizes that can be won all the way down to sixth place, for both Adults and Kids. There are a couple of different “classes” that people can enter. I see that there is an Adult Multi-Species class and an Adult Biggest Fish class. The folks at Bonaparte Lake Resort do a fantastic job of gathering prizes from a long list of sponsors. The cost to enter for each class is $15. You can register online or at the morning of the event, from 5:30 to 9:30, and fishing officially starts at 7 a.m. The weigh in will happen at 4 p.m. Sorry about me being confused and I would encourage you to attend both events!
