You have to enter The NYS WINTER CLASSIC!!
The NYS Winter Classic www.nyswinterclassic.com is a two-month long derby (January and February) that allows you to fish ALL waters in the state, any type of fishing, with a wide assortment of prizes. If you are going to ice-fish or Steelhead fish this winter, you should enter the NYS Winter Classic. The prizes are amazing and every fish you catch can win you NICE prizes. In fact, just joining up for $25 could get you a sign-up gear bonus and will make you eligible to win a brand new ice shanty, there is so many prizes to win! There are 56 statewide weigh-in stations and each location will be raffling off an Ice-shanty, and every fish you weigh-in increases your chances to win.
The derby runs all January and February and you can enter any time before or during the event. Any waters in NY State are eligible and both weekly, monthly, species specific prizes are given away liberally. I’ve joined and I will be enjoying my ice fishing and Steelhead adventures with a chance to win BIG. I challenge all our readers to do the same. Join at any weigh-in station or go to www.nyswinterclassic.com for entry, prizes, free raffles and rules.
The following weigh in stations below are Angler Magazine contributors and would be happy to explain the derby, ice conditions, fishing reports, or provide standings. Big prize$ are frequent. The Angler Magazine Upstate NY website (www.theanglermag.com/upstate-ny) and www.nyswinterclassic.com will be covering daily standings and providing daily pictures, fishing reports and ice conditions. We have so many trophy waters in Upstate NY and I am convinced if enough Upstate NY anglers join this well covered and sponsored derby, that WE will dominate the state standings. It will be a great way to get through the winter and provide a new tradition to NYS winter fishing. Go to www.nyswinterclassic.com for details and weigh-in locations.
