SINCLAIR, Maine — More than 1,121 people converged on Long Lake and the surrounding area over the weekend to participate in the 14th annual Long Lake Ice Fishing Derby, which the Long Lake Sporting Club sponsored to benefit the Edgar J. Paradis Cancer Fund.
Despite nasty weather on Thursday, fishermen said they were thankful Saturday for the rain that helped to pack down the snow which accumulated from last weekend’s storm. Still, the lake conditions were less than ideal for trekking out to the fishing cabins from the sporting club.
