Despite the poor weather, ice huts were a blessing this year, the 30th Wawa Ice Fishing Derby was enjoyed by a sold out group of dedicated anglers. The derby sold out on February 14th, and angling was limited to 1100 participants and fishing was only allowed on Wawa Lake and Hawk Lake.
The Registration Draw of $30,000 cash was won by Natalie Yeung of Timmins.
