A day of fun on the ice is set for March 8th when the Kin Club of Dauphin host the Dauphin Lake Walleye Dash Ice Fishing Derby.
A total of 200 holes are available at a cost of $130 each, with a total of $15,000 being up for grabs if the event is a sellout.
Nicole Gulenchin encourages you to buy your ticket as soon as possible.
"We are now selling so if you are interested you need to get online and go to that QR code whether it is on a poster or Facebook - wherever you need to go to find that code and get your ticket before you lose out because there are only 200 available."
Rodney Carberry says they are using a system that is not traditionally used in other ice fishing derbys.
"Lake Dauphin has its lake-specific rules with its 48 cm slot limits. So this formula allows us to use walleye that are over that size. So you can catch a fish, use one of the supplied lift grip systems that are going to hold that fish in the hole for you. And then we will get some judges to measure the fish at the hole for you. It is good for the fish - it stays healthy and we do not have to worry about it being on the ice and cold, it can protect it gills and protect its eyes. "
All proceeds from the event will be returned to the community by the Kin Club.
