Deteriorating ice conditions did not prevent 162 adults and 28 youth (12 years and under) from congregating on Lake Wahtopanah for the ninth annual ice fishing derby. It was hosted by Rivers & Area Game & FIsh Association on Saturday, March 12. Some changes for this event consisted of elimination of the $10,000 cash prize for a tagged northern pike and the exclusion of prizes for walleye and perch. Instead, cash prizes totalling $3,200 were awarded to the captors of the 10 longest of the 70 northern pike caught, measured and released. Consequently, the derby was dubbed the 2016 Northern Pike Classic.
