Boysen fishing derby hits the ice

It’s time to hit the ice and drop the lines again for the 2019 ice fishing derby beginning Friday, Jan. 18 and running through the weekend.

Registration for the event is $10 per person, and tickets are available at the Boysen Reservoir marina, and not tickets will be sold after 10 a.m. on Jan. 20.

Weigh-ins begin after 8 a.m. on Jan. 18 and go no later than noon on Jan. 20. Contestants must have their derby registrations at weigh-in. In the event of a tie for fish weight, the earliest weigh-in will determine the winner.

The marina will also be a weigh-in station, as well as B & K Shoreline Stop in Shoshoni. There will be four place prizes in each category of trout, ling, crappie, walleye and perch. Only one weigh-in is allowed per fish, and contestants must fish according to the rules and regulations of Wyoming Game and Fish. Culling is prohibited.
