Nice work as always! We've got a couple tickets already and look forward to seeing everyone out there. Last year fishing was awesome for this derby. We entered two fish in the mid-20's (finished 4th & 7th I think) and it seemed like almost every boat got at least 1 fish that day. Let's hope more of the same this year!

Some prizes include

- Yamaha motor
- Trip to Queen Chatlotte Lodge

The Seymour Salmon Hatchery could really use all the help it can get this year guys!
 
Good luck to everyone tomorrow. Hoping the weather cooperates. Looks like rain and some SE wind at this point. The cap will be busy!
 
23 lb won it. watched a boat almost sink at the dock. great prizes !! weather was crap.
 
how did the fella with the wellcraft that was going down make out,\? I had to leave just as they were going to tow it around to the launch,
pretty brave soul stripping off and diving in and under without hesitation to check the stern plug,
pretty sure it must have had a scupper hose come off with the way it was taking on water.
hate seeing that kinda ****. looks like he just brought it up fron the us too, still had the wa #'s on it
 
This was the first year that I have attended this derby and I have to say I was excellent! Great job by the organizers and a huge thx to the sponsors for all the great sponsors. See you next year.
 
The guy with the Welcraft got his boat around to launch and on a trailer. Great derby! well organized. We will definitely get in on this again, hopefully its a little dryer next year.

Thanks for everyone that came out for the derby. With the generosity of the sponsors and participants, we expect this years total to be well over $20 000 going to the two local charities!


The derby was won by a boat and crew that had never salmon fished before and had just installed 1 downriggerdownrigger a couple days before. Talk about beginners luck!
