The 27th Annual Meredith Rotary Fishing Derby took place this past weekend.
Hundreds of fishermen found their spots on frozen lakes across the region.
They cut holes into the ice and dropped their lines, hoping to catch the biggest tagged rainbow trout and the grand prize of a brand new fishing boat.
NHPR Correspondent Sean Hurley went out across Meredith Bay on Saturday and Sunday to experience a day in the life of an ice fisherman.
He brings back this report.
