[Nicole]

I won't be attending this year... I think I'm done with the derby, I will fish the 25th and 27th this year, but not the 26th - the crowding is just too much for me to take.

Cheers,
Nicole

somebody needs to win other than Wade! I'm going this year, you cant win if you dont play

[younggun]

it all depends if the old man feels like getting out of bed, i know i'll be up, 5:30 am.

[BigFisher]

If Wade can do it a 3rd time, then it looks like steelheading really can be mastered......

[Coho Cody]

If Wade can do it a 3rd time, then it looks like steelheading really can be mastered......

He is not entering this year

He is not entering this year

and for good reason, who wants to be followed around the river?

He has a child on the way. But that is also another good reason

[CohoMan]

Work in retail business meaning that I will have to be running my department that day.

Would love to go but have to wait until I quit that business- hopefully very soon!!!

[nosey]

I'm with youngun hit the places you know and fish hard, as for the crowds, whatever the money goes to a good cause and someone's gotta win. fishing in the crowds one day a year won't kill you, look at it as a different fishing experience and smile and be polite it is a derby not a meat festival everyone can't expect to be all alone in their favorite spot, good luck!

[Big Steel]

I should be out there that day, I have plenty of time for scouting now....

[Geff_t]

Well only 22 days until the boxing day derby and still no info  Does this maybe mean that it has folded? I hope not but if it has I will still be out there to enjoy a day with good friends.
