Yup saw that already. Only thing you can find is a small little thing on their calendar  but no real information.

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??

Well did it win for him?

 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.

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.
