Here is a map is to help with questions on our upcoming Winter Derby on 1/24.

The red icon is the Dazey Sodbusters building where registration will take place, starting at 9am the morning of the derby.

The yellow icon is planned area of the weigh station. We will mark the weigh station with orange cones.

The access is marked with the white icon that says “Sibley Crossing”

The fishing area is north of the highway. You must be within line of sight of the Sibley bridge. You can have your houses on the ice before registration, but no lines in the water that morning.

Keep in mind when you setup that fish must be WALKED up to the weight station. We will NOT weigh your fish if you drive a vehicle, atv, or snowmobile up. Please carry fish in a bucket with water so they can be released if healthy.

If we allow vehicles to stay on the ice during the event do not drive them around from 11:30- 3pm!
