Whitney Point, NY - The 2013 running of the Almost-Annual New York State Crappie Derby is being postponed to February 9, 2013 due to the mild winter experienced so far. The event was originally scheduled for January 26, 2013. We are hopeful this will allow sufficient time for safe ice to form. We will be monitoring weather conditions and forecasts/projects over the next couple of weeks to track ice growth progress. Should it become obvious that sufficient ice is not likely to occur, a cancellation notice with be published. If sufficiently cold weather returns however, the February 9 date will be confirmed in a subsequent release.
