Sebago lake derby is currently running here in Maine. Wardens are warning all fishermen to be extremely careful as ice conditions are not safe due to the current warm temperatures that we are experiencing.
Wardens will beĀ patrolling the lake through out the tournament and will be watching from the air as well. Sebago lake has some extremely big fish in it but none are worth risking your life, so be extremely careful as you venture out this weekend.
Lake trout are often found in shallow water during winter months, so there is no need to venture out off shore to far. Always checkĀ ice conditions frequently to insure adequate safety.
Good luck!
UPDATE
The Sebago lake ice fishing derby was terminated, due to several people and vehicles breaking through the ice. Conditions were deemed unsafe by derby officials and it was decided to end the derby before any tragic accidents happened.
