The ice on long Lake is in better shape now due to frigid temps and there is plenty of snow for snowmobiles and quads. This is a great time to be in this area. And BUCKS  BAIT SHOP will be fully stocked with minnows, wigglers, waxworms, tackle, and of course….LORIE RIGS.

The Grand Lake Fish Derby  is a free event.Not just the no license required, but also the derby is free to enter, the cash prizes and gifts are yours if you enter . Th entire lake is open to fish in, and the prize headquarters is at the very north end of the lake,  at the pavilion on highway 638. You do not have to sign anything, just show up before 7pm. Start when you want to. Be careful on the ice, watch for any soft spots and do not be afraid to ask questions of folks already out there. This is a very friendly area, just don’t drill holes too close.  I’m sure you  all know that already.
