Bump to the top.

[sammyslabber]

Is that a clipped fin derby sure would hope so!

[bananas]

Why would you hope so you are allowed to retain both wild and hatch there.

[sammyslabber]

Then why aren't we allowed to retain wild in our area! I know the drill Trev but the slot limit in our area just doesn't make any sense! like you said before the early fraser springs have wings & just seem to bypass Squidney on the way to the Fraser.LMAO!

[bananas]

It's all a political joke , if there open insquidney i'm bonkin em.

[High Five]

Why does everyone want other people to have this stupid restriction?? LET IT GO. I can tell you I don't support anybody getting the restriction it is totally political to get FN to quite down. I am happy the slot restriction are not open in ECVI. In the summer most of the areas are shut down while WCVI is open. Please go to the meetings.

Thanks to all involved it was a good time and appreciate all the hard work by Sidney anglers! Maybe next year I will catch a dam fish! Beautiful day on the water tho, couldn't have asked for a nicer day to be on the water

[winephart]

We don't have a final accounting yet but it looks in the area of $4500 going to Salmon Enhancement. Thanks to everyone who supported us. We made some mistakes but for a first derby it wasn't bad. We would like suggestions on how to improve, so please send your responses to our website sidney anglers.com
