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.

 

[bananas]

Well boys havn't and won't get time to pre fish where are they ,whats going on?

 

[profisher]

I bet you don't get an answer Trev..the boys think they might stand a chance if you haven't got any info going in. LOL

 

[Knotty Seamen]

Good luck out there boys! See ya on the water!

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
