Buffalo Lake is a large body of water in central Alberta, near the town of Stettler. Each year, on Family Day weekend, Destination Stettler hosts the Big Jack Classic Ice Fishing Derby. A family friendly, Northern Pike derby with over $10,000 in cash and prizes to be won!

With events throughout the weekend, this is more than just a fishing tournament. The community hall in Rochon Sands is a great meeting place with drinks, snacks and washrooms available all weekend. As well, they put on a fantastic spaghetti supper Saturday night, with breakfast available at the hall on Sunday morning as well. Not only that, but after the tournament wraps up on Sunday evening, there is a great banquet put on with live music, dinner tickets, prizes, as well as a bar area. Bring the kids, they'll have a blast dancing the night away.

A wonderful way to spend the family day holiday. Keep your eye out for the cool 5 of diamonds Big Jack Classic hummer, as well as Big Jack Classics Ambassador, Lisa Roper, throughout the weekend!

A small number of private accommodations can be found in Rochon Sands during the winter months, but a large number of options are available in the nearby town of Stettler if you're traveling into the area.
