Description: The annual Pinedale Boat Club Ice Fishing Derby has been compared to "a big party" as well as "ice fishing in its purest form," which is not the contradiction it might seem. Camaraderie and good-natured competition are just as important as meditative focus when it comes to two days crouched over an ice-hole on the scenic windy vastness of Fremont Lake. When contestants get restless over slack lines, they jump on snowmobiles and visit the fishermen at other holes to see where the action might be. There are stories and refreshments to be shared and tips to pick up on how to stay warm. Some may even part with hard-earned ice fishing advice.

Location: Derby Headquarters is at Lakeside Lodge on Fremont Lake - 3 miles north of Pinedale on Fremont Lake Road
