The 2009 Sebago Lake Ice Fishing Derby is poised to be better than ever. This year the main events return to Raymond Beach in Jordan Bay - less than 1 mile from our parking lot!
Today's temperature is a bone chilling 3 degrees Fahrenheit with temps predicted well below zero tonight. Jordan Bay is forming a nice thick layer of ice as are the edges of the eastern shore of the big bay. The northeastern portion of the Lake surrounding the Dingley Islands started to freeze earlier this week and if these temps persist, we may have a completely frozen Sebago in fairly short order!
For those avid fishermen - you'll be pleased to know that the moon will be in a waning gibbous phase on it's way to the new moon which will occur a few days after the Sebago Derby ends - not perfect but certainly better than the Full Moon during the Derby of 2008!
