GREAT MEREDITH ROTARY ICE FISHING DERBY: Saturday and Sunday, February 9-10, 2013. The derby brings anglers to New Hampshire from all over the country. For the 2013 Derby, the Meredith Rotary Club will be providing all cash prizes. A grand prize winning fish (white perch, yellow perch, cusk, lake trout, pickerel, black crappie or rainbow trout) can be caught in any fresh water open to the public. During the derby, N.H. Fish and Game fisheries biologists Don Miller and John Viar will collect valuable fish data at the derby weigh-in. As part of the event, Fish and Game's "Let's Go Fishing" Program presents free hands-on sessions for children and their parents on the basics of ice fishing.
