I usually attend but was not able this year so I cannot help you but I am sure we will hear from someone that did after the event.

I just got back from a boo at the river at Lickman Road and lots of anglers out. A CO was checking licenses there. River conditions were still OK but not as good as yesterday I thought.

Heres a shot of the weight-in


Not a bad day considering last year there were twice as many anglers and only 4 fish weighted in. The turn out this year seemed a little low, wondering if it had anything to do with the jump in ticket prices?  Some of the auction items went for REALLY cheap, almost criminal :-\.

I think it was 6.5 lbs, picture doesnt do them justice... They were all decent. Derby rules said fish must be 5lbs and 50 cm minimum

not sure what floater is on, the fish on the left is nearly 9 lbs, pretty decent fish in my books.

Any stats on the number of tickets sold? Or the number of anglers who checked in?
I was told 245 tickets sold.

No for the first time in along time I was not attending the derby so I will not be doing the writeup. You are correct Wade won once again.
