- Cherelle Miller waits for a bite while ice fishing on Sport Lake during a school field trip earlier this winter. Soldotna Trustworthy Hardware and Fishing is sponsoring an ice fishing derby through the end of the month.
Warm weather and low snowfall this winter is helping to make this one of the best years for ice fishing seen here a while.
Scott Miller, of Soldotna Trustworthy Hardware and Fishing, said their annual ice-fishing derby is set to break a participation record this year.
The 13-year-old, month-long event has attracted over 1,200 entrants so far this year, and with more than a week to go, Miller said he expects to see another 100 to 200 people get in on the action before the end of February.
