I'm planning on going in. Good currents that day.
 
Is there a slot size for wild Chinooks? 45cm-67cm in 19 1-19 3 & 20 but no slot
for19-5 off Sidney min 62cm and up. This will surely make things interesting.

I like the fact the derby boundaries are spread out from areas 18 to 20...allows you to pick a spot where you think Walter might be hiding...and being early there will be more than enough sheltered spots even if the wind blows. Weather won't be an issue, there will be good water to fish if you are mobile.
 
I fished Coal Island and released 4 Chinook so no run to the scale for me. Nice to have my home cut tiny strip producing like the Rhys stuff used to.
