2025 Crappie Derby cancelled due to insufficient ice
BROOME COUNTY, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – The Broome County Department of Parks, Recreation, and Youth Services has released a statement regarding the cancellation of this year's Almost Annual Crappie Derby. The Crappie Derby is a major Southern Tier ice fishing competition held by the Whitney Point Sportsmens Association. The event is dependent on the cold weather and due to insufficient ice, it is unsafe to hold the tournament this year. Broome County released the following statement on Tuesday: 'Late last week, Broome County was informed by the organizers that the 2025 Crappie Derby has been canceled. Broome County offered to cover the insurance expenses to support the event and help ensure its continuation. Despite this offer, the organizers informed us that the event would not take place due to a lack of ice and sponsorships. We want to emphasize that Broome County Parks' requirements have not changed, and the insurance requirements have remained consistent since 2018. These policies are in place to ensure the safety of participants and spectators. The Crappie Derby has always been a great community event, and we are disappointed it will not take place this year. We hope to see the event return in the future and will continue to work with the organizers to make that possible.' The last Crappie Derby was held in 2020. The Whitney Point Sportsmens Association made a post to its Facebook page encouraging fishers across the state to get outside on February 15 and February 16 as the DEC hosts Free Fishing Day.
