From what I have heard it has been cancelled due to poor fishing methods to target them !!

They may not be bouncing, but snagging sure is abundant.  Just look for the guys who set the hook at the end of each drift.

Slightly off topic but will the steelhead derby be cancelled as well ? There are people out there snagging for them as well.

The Thanksgiving weekend chinook derby on the Vedder was always part of the Help Habitat Fundraiser (unless you are talking about a different derby by Fred's). It was decided that the fish were brought in by all means and some fish were are beyond their prime were brought to the weighing station. The two reasons lead to the decision of having just a social fundraiser, with various activities such as auctions, lunch and prize draws.

They ought to change the rule to something like if you can enter any fish on the proviso that you are prepared to eat it  ;)
