HURLEYVILLE – The Hurleyville Fire Department in cooperation with the Town of Fallsburg Youth Commission will be holding their 37th Annual Ice Fishing Contest, Saturday, February 8th. The contest will take place on Morningside Lake, 614 Brickman Road in Hurleyville from 7:00 am - 3:00 pm. Registration will take place the day of the contest at the lake. Registration is $5.00 for adults and free for those 15 and under.

Refreshments and bait will be available. We will also drill holes for you if needed.

There will be an adult and youth division with trophies for first, second and third in the following categories: PERCH, PAN FISH, BULLHEAD AND PICKEREL. All fish must be legally caught and of legal size.

There is also a special Firemen’s Contest. The RICH FARQUHAR MEMORIAL CHIEF’S CUP goes to the top firemen’s fishing team. A team can be one, ten or as many that show up. All team members MUST belong to the same fire department. There is a first, second and third place team trophy in the fireman’s contest. I am sure past champions Smallwood Mongaup Valley, Monticello, Neversink Tappan and the Loch Sheldrake Fire Departments will be there in full force to try to capture it.

This contest has produced some real big fish in the past years. As in the past, a good time is had by all.
