BLUEWATER ANGLERS ICE FISHING DERBY

Saturday, February 14, 2026

The Ice Fishing Derby is the first club event of 2026. Hopefully, Mother Nature will cooperate.

The outing is held on the first license-free weekend in Ontario, so no fishing license is needed. The Ice Fishing Derby is open to both club members and the general public. Bring the family and some friends and enjoy a morning fishing on Sarnia Bay.

Tickets ($5.00/person) are on sale at The Outdoorsman until 4:30pm on Friday 13th and the Sarnia Bay Marina parking lot February 14th between 7am-9am. You must buy your  ticket before you start fishing.

The Ice Fishing Derby starts at 6:00 AM on Saturday, February 14.

Participants can bring their catch to the weigh-in station located at the Sarnia Bay Marina boat ramp anytime during the morning. All fish must be weighed in by 11:00 AM.

Prizes will be based on 90% of the ticket sales. 10% will go to the Bluewater Anglers Hatchery. Cash prizes will be awarded based on weight in each of the three fish categories ... Panfish (including perch, crappie, sunfish, rock bass), Pike, and Trout (Rainbow and Brown Trout). All fish entered must be caught through the ice in Sarnia or Point Edward, and all provincial fishing regulations must be obeyed. You may enter only one fish per category. If no fish are entered in a category, the prizes for that category will be added to the Panfish category. Prizes will be awarded immediately after the weigh-in closes at 11:00 AM.  

Timbits and Hot Chocolate will be served as well. Draw prizes will be made from entrants 16 and under.

Draw Prize winners must be present for the draws made at the close of the weigh-in.
