If Wade can do it a 3rd time, then it looks like steelheading really can be mastered......

He is not entering this year
and for good reason, who wants to be followed around the river?
i agree sea run, i have never entered it but way back in 1987, my buddy hooked a 16# beauty on Xmas day at the cedars, well he convinced me to go the next day thinking it was a shoe in to win, the morning of the event seen many many anglers gathering at the resteraunt and the buzz was electric, i havent been anywhere near the derby since that date but i dont think it is anywhere near the hype of those days??
he said the fish was on x-mas day
he said the fish was on x-mas day
its the same thing thats gone on for the last couple of years,it seems that there isn't being much of an effort to get the info out their about the derby,i don't know what has being going on but this derby doesn't seem to be as big a deal to the club as it used to be,and it has shown . ???
I just checked into this, the Boxing Day derby is a go as the Chilliwack Fish and Game Protective Association has two people now organizing it.Thanks for the update. I'll be there and hopefuly will land one this year :) 4 years and counting with numorous fish lost and this will be the year I get my first. I can feel it ;D
My first year steelheading netted me 74 fish in 60 trips.
Were caught on roe and spin-n-glos, one on the fly.
A steelhead derby?
Are the fish killed to register?
Gee, would think due to the lack of fish, this wouldn't happen.

Just curious.... Is this a go even with the snow thats still coming down? Has It ever been delayed due to heavy snow? Its coming down really good right now. :o will we not hear till derby day?
Well we never made it out as the snow was flying this morning. Hope all that went had some good luck. I was really looking forward to trying my new islander out. I guess it will have to wait.You most likely made the right decision as we are getting snow here in Chilliwack too. Of course it will be a bit dangerous out on the river as well with all the snow and ice.

Take a walk from your place and fish ;) I miss that river
I did not make it up to the derby for the results as my wife wanted to join the Boxing Day crowds, she said it was a fun outing. ::) ??? Well at least I had a nice cup of Tims. ;DI was there and it was a fun derby. After 4 years of trying I finally caught my first ever steel but unfortunatly it was wild. The fish was around 14 pounds and slipped out of my hands before I could take a pic so I will just have to get another one ;D Chris summed it up well but the river conditions were exellent to my amazment :o I will have to get out again before it's back to school :P
I thought someone that did get to the clubhouse would have posted us some final results by now. :o
All I could find out was there was only 6 fish entered for the 170 odd anglers that entered. Of course all the snow and slippery conditions on the river and the roads kept the participates at all time low for the last few derbies.Top fish was around 11 pounds. Also Wade last year's winner caught a small one.
Hopefully someone that was there at the end of the derby can give us a better report than I, maybe with a picture or two?
Some KINGFISHERS are good others....... :-Xmost of the ones i know r good ones
who the hell won it anyways??? name would be nice lolResults were published today in a newspaper thankyou ad today. I thought I would list them for you.
what paper chrisChilliwack Progress.
Not to look like a moron but what do people consider a kingfisher? Just wondering....Kingfishers is a fishing club. Jetboatjim can tell you more about it.
