With only 6 days left to get your entry's in to take part in the First Annual SFBC Salmon Derby 2014, we have up for grabs another early bird prize!
A pair of custom finished needlefish spoons, designed by Iron Noggin.
Years in the making, these spoons will be the first spoons issued publicly, with a commercial release this summer.

Entry must be received by May 31st 2014 11:59pm to be eligable to win these rare spoons


Not only will you have a chance to win these awesome spoons by joining the derby, you may just win the derby with them.

So many of you always tell us how we need to support enhancement yet I have not seen your $25 as of yet. Remember 100% of your $25 entry goes directly to Little River Enhancement Society, thus adding to the betterment of LRES. The fact is, the fish that the LRES puts into the water pass by many fishing ports on their way back to the spawning grounds so they are inevitably helping coastal fishing.

Even though Little River Enhancement Society is not in your back yard, next year it could be your local hatchery selected to benefit from this derby, and it could be you looking for entries from other members in other communities to support the cause in your backyard.

Many of you are already entering other derby's this summer, so why not try to win two derby's with your catch.

Please don't contact me about these spoons. I am in no way affiliated with the production of these spoons. They were offered up in support of the 2014 SFBC Salmon Derby as a early bird give away.

Good Luck,

How to enter......

Entry:

$25 Entry Fee Per Person
Entry fee payable to LRES (Little River Enhancement Society)

Please include name(s) (forum name and real name(s), age of children entered, email address and phone number(s). Email confirmation will be sent out once entry is received. Personal information will be kept confidential and will be destroyed October 2014.

Arrangements can be made, and help is available if you find getting your entry in is to difficult.

Please contact me if you want to pay by ETransfer or to drop off cash
 
Not only has Andrew P offered up 3 sets of Sand Lance Needlefish Spoons to be given away to entrants June 10th, he has also donated a 24k gold plated Sand Lance Needlefish spoon to be given away Sept. 27th in Nanaimo at the wrap up, awards and BBQ.

There's a spoon you wouldn't want to lose
 
would love to get my hands the Iron Noggins needlefish, had an opportunity to see some prototypes in action early on and they have an action like nothing else ive seen...some serious attention to detail and quality...been after them for a while!! this derby is throwing up some awesome prizes, impressed!!
 
Man, your crazy to not be entering this derby!

Look at these friggin prizes that are out there for only $25! All you have to do is go fishing in your own home waters for a chance to win $1000's of dollars in prizes.

You gotta be nuts to not enter, even if your only on the water a couple of times this season.
 
Check your email folks!!! Time to forget about whatever reason has kept you from joining the SFBC derby. Even if you only fish a small amount,or are one the many that contribute to many other projects,there is still no real reason not to enter this one. Never seen a format that allows an entrant to have so many chances to win something while conducting there season as normal.

Clearly every one of us can see the enormous potential a derby of this format can have in making a difference to enhancement projects coast wide. By the extreme generosity displayed by the many businesses and forum members in the form of donations and promotion, it is obvious that they see the value in ensuring this first year is a success.

As I see it the success of this years derby will only ensure the success and growth for years coming. More importantly is the fact that this success and growth will have a direct impact on your local enhancement project wen your area is selected as the recipient .

The organizers of this thing have gone above and beyond to meet peoples needs in an effort to make this derby as effortless as possible to enter and take part in. There are only a couple days left to enter. Please take the less than 5 minutes it takes to get your entry in and be a part of the fun and positive contributions this derby will ultimately add to our fishing seasons both now and in years to come.

We exceeded my goal of 200 entry's..... :) Thank You to everyone that jumped into help me reach this goal.

The total number of entry's won't be known till all the postdated entry's come in.

Right now we have already raised over $5000 for Little River Enhancement Society. With the use of the grant LRES has in place our donation is equivalent to over $10,000 that they can use towards one of their ongoing lists of projects.

Something we can all be proud of.

Thanks Again,
