What - An inexpensive no-frills South Vancouver Island salmon fishing derby to be held on Saturday of this Father’s Day Weekend
When - Saturday 18th June 2016 from 5:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Why - This is a fun, angler-friendly salmon fishing event designed to make a soft protest against the authorities for the poor treatment South Vancouver Island angling community has received related to the management of Fraser Chinook salmon. This event is for all those anglers who are deeply frustrated by the year-in-year-out uncertainty and overly restrictive salmon regulations during June and July. Using a no frills format the derby will reward its contestants with a chance at two main cash prizes. One prize for the largest legal salmon and one prize will be a draw.
Derby Headquarters and Weigh Station
The Kiss My … Chinook Derby will be headquartered at Pedder Bay RV Resort and Marina, 925 Pedder Bay Road (off Rocky Point Road in Metchosin). The derby’s official weigh station will also be at the same location.
