Important - Some of the major rule changes now that we're under a mandatory government license.

  • Must register before you fish.
  • When registering you will have to show fishing license.
  • Must wear your participant ribbon at all times.
  • All fish brought in for weighing must come in a large cooler with water.
  • Any fish that can't be released alive will not be weighed
  • You are not allowed to keep any fish while fishing in this event. That means not even to eat.

Maximum hole size will be 12 inches for safety reasons.

Only live fish will be weighed.

All structures intended to be used as an ice fishing shack shall be removed from the area within one week after the fish derby.

Since the Bow River Irrigation District owns the land around Badger Lake, we would ask that there be no travel, access or parking on the east dyke of the lake (pump house side). Please, no open fires on the ice. All partial, burned wood, or wood intended for campfire use shall be removed from the lake area.

Must fish within designated fishing areas as marked out on handout map.
