A group of 422 anglers who turned out in force for the 20th Annual Schroon Lake Ice Fishing Derby this past weekend, caught a bunch of fish, had a whale of a great time and added a much needed boost to the economy.
Most of the fish were biting Saturday, judging by the number of fish weighed in at the Fish and Game Club House, according to one of the organizers, Tracy Hanchett.
The biggest catch of the weekend went to Donald Prosser, Senior, with a massive 17.92 pound Northern Pike.
"Sunday was the nicer day weather-wise, with Saturday windy and cold at first, but that's when we weighed in more fish," Tracy told Schroon Laker today.
"While the number of anglers who signed up for the event was down from previous years, it’s about average since the economic downturn."
