Services — Poles N Holes Fishing Derby

Now Accepting 2025 Sponsors

On February 8, 2025, the Detroit Lakes Breakfast Rotary Club will present its 13th annual Poles 'n Holes Ice Fishing Derby. Last year, we got ICE'D by the weather, but our community did not! Thanks to generous sponsors like you, we were still able to give back to our community in a BIG WAY! Even with our derby attendance down, we were able to:

Donate over 1,500 books to children throughout our region.
Provide over $10,000 in scholarship to area high school seniors.
Contribute to community projects like Let's Go Fishing, The Crossroads Teen Center, the Becker County Museum and more!

That’s over $30,000 in support to youth and worth projects in our area!

This year's derby offers more than previous derbies in that we will have expanded opportunities for spectators to come out and experience the fun atmosphere of the derby with:

Expanded food and beverage options
Games and recreation for the kids
The popular Poles n Holes raffle, and
An all-new sponsor showcase area where our sponsors can highlight their products and make their business known.

And there's more! More ticket options, more fishing prizes, more warming areas. We are striving to make the 13th Poles 'n Holes event the best yet! You're going to want to be a part of this truly unique event!
