The guys on the Island seem to have all the fun.Are there any derbies around Vancouver area? I would be willing to go across to Nanaimo.

The only Derby of any consequence around Vancouver was the old Kask Brothers Derby out of Horseshoe Bay might have tied in with the Vancouver Sun at one distant point.
The weights kept going down and down then one year some bastards entered a river fish they kept frozen for a year and it all blew up in their faces rules were changed but with such poor returns it all folded.
Some guys out of Thunderbird Marina in W Van have a derby in the spring and of course there's the fireman's derby in the fall but that's just a boozefest/fundraiser sorry Mike but it's the truth.
It's been so long that all 3 of those separate derbies are combined into one in the fog of the past, now that you mention them I remember them all.quote:Originally posted by fishin_magician

Yeah, it's unfortunately. No more Kask Bros. Derby, no Curtis Lumber Derby, No Vancouver Sun Derby, it's
O V E R. The other problem is that if there were any "sizeable" prize to it, it would be far too easy to break the rules with float planes and larger boats capable of running a distance.
