hmmmm.........I missed it , that sounded like fun ! I do agree , that lake is too vast and deep for planting 3 tagged fish. :-\

This derby in California sounds like fun as well.

It was advertised in the BC Outdoors magazine and Match Hatch’r fly and tackle shop. I think most people only took a quick glance at the poster and walked away when they saw the initial price of $99 per entry. Even the registration form said that it was $99 after the entry fee was dropped to $50 and I think a lot of people saw the price and were a turn off. :-\
