Is anyone going to get in the derby? I have never acctually ice fished, but I am going to be not too far from sidley on that weekend so I was thinking about going and checking it out. $20 to get in and 1st place gets a brand new fishing canoe.

Sidley lake looks like its about as close to canada as you can get. I cant rember how thick they said the ice was but I think they said 10" with 12" of snow on top of that. Yeah I am going to be at Rufus that weekend and I think it will take about an hour and a half if the conditions are right. My buddy used to go there a lot when he was younger and said it takes about 5.5 - 6 hours. In the snow I would tack at least another hour on the trip, if not more.
