Well its coming up on that time of year again, I figured now would be a good time to get this started and see what kind of interest we have in another Steelhead Derby !! I had many suggestions last year and I am taking them all into account, the number one suggestion being, holding the derby at a later date so we have more fish in the system.

I had a look at the calender and I am thinking either Sat Feb 7th or Sun Feb 8th, did everyone like the idea of having hats with the entry ?? this is also a shout out to all the generous Tackle shops that made great donations last year... I hope I can count on all of you to help us out once again.... I also believe that the defence alliance was a great cause to donate the money to and would like to help them out again this year.... what do you think ??

Last year turned out to be a great success but I think we can do much better than that this year, maybe with the later date we can turn 6 fish into 15 fish

I am going to get in touch with all the tackle stores in the Greater Vancouver and Fraser Valley area to see if I can get them to sell the tickets in advance to make it easier on a lot of people who maybe had trouble getting to Reaction Fly & Tackle first thing in the morning...

Thats all I have for now, please get in touch with me or post on this thread if you have any suggestions that you think could make this years derby the best one ever

I don't have access to personal messages on here right now so please e-mail me at

Hey Rick, I've added a poll for you at the top so not everyone has to reply on which day is better for them.

For people who have just joined the forum or started reading this past summer, Rick has done a fantastic job on putting together these steelhead derby in the past two winters. It's an opportunity for all Chilliwack River anglers to meet, enjoy a day of fishing, learn and most importantly raise money for the sportfishing community.

Great to see you are willing to do the derby again this year Rick ,it is allways a great time.
I like the later derby date,i also need another hat and the defense alliance is a great choice for the donation,I'm looking forward to having a great time again this year.

Any chance we could do it one of the two following weekends?

Sign me up even though i didn't get one i had a great time, a world of knowledge from fellow anglers.Keep up the good work Rick.That would be a good thing if Reaction could sell the tickets also as it would probably draw more people to this derby.

I'll volunteer to run a fly only section of the derby so the fly guys can have a chance...slim maybe but you never know!!!

I vote Sat.

[younggun]

how many guys are gonna be throwing guts? how many guys coming out?

how many guys are gonna be throwing guts?

This thread should be used to decide the derby date, let's not stray from that and get it done first. Once that's decided, a new thread will be started for all the derby planning and chit chat.

Thx Rickl

I like the 14th and 15th better as the 7th or 8th is the boat show weekend and I am working there all that week.

[Terry D]

I'd prefer any Sunday but I'd take Saturday if that's the day.

[jazzbass]

Sounds great to me..... Let us know when the big date is set!!

Hey Rick, how about just Sunday February 8th and 15th, otherwise there are too many options and the votes would be really spread out. I've locked the poll for now. Let me know and I'll reset and edit it for you.

[fyrslyer]

Saturday for sure
