Brownstone Park/CT Outfitters Icefishing Derby

Brownstone Park Ice Fishing Derby Feb. 23 & 24 Hey all you ice fishers and ice fishing wannabes! Drill into the ice and compete for the biggest catch in the Brownstone Park Ice Fishing Derby on Feb 23 & 24 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day. Sponsored by Connecticut Outfitters, ice fishing instructions and demonstrations on equipment and technology will be held both days. Use their gear or bring your own. Connecticut Outfitters will be providing free instruction on ice fishing to the novice, and also will be demonstrating ice fishing equipment and new technology on both days. Complimentary gear will be available, so this is a great event for families and friends to enjoy the day. You don’t need a thing – just dress in warm layers! There will be $1,500 in cash and prizes available during this event! (Scroll down for the Fishing Derby Rules.)
