I like the idea of some flyfishing prizes in the mix, having something flyfishers want to win means more entries, and more money raised for the cause...

That being said, it will be a freaking miracle if a flyrod catches a steel on that day anyway ;)

Er wait, they just floss anyway, so realistically, flyfishers should catch the bulk of the fish...  ;D  Just kidding!

Women should be treated like one of the guys... A junior prize for under 16 would be nice!

Cheers,
Nicole

  That is a great idea Nicole. I too think there should be a junior prize, if this  junior division goes ahead I will see what I can do for a prize.

Rick (TH),

Do you have any drop off points for your prizes? Reaction, Fred's... Might be an easier way than sending it to North Van for some people.

All prizes can be dropped off at Reaction, just make sure it is labeled with my name on it and prefferably leave it with Darryl if he is there

cheers Rick

I am working on distributing the tickets throughout the lower mainland right now, hopefully by next week monday there will be tickets available at 5-6 tackle shops from N Van to Chilliwack, tickets will also be available to purchase at Reaction between 6:30 am and 8 am derby day...... every ticket that is purchased has to be registered at Reaction on derby day

So after a lot of concideration and discussion we have found ourselves a very worthy cause to donate the proceeds of our derby to.
Kids in the Nest provides not only a fantastic educational tool to thousands of people worldwide, but they also provide us,  the fishermen a great tool which can show us up to date conditions and water levels and just plain entertain us !!!

This money we donate will make a big difference, maybe even make it so they can stay online period !! I spoke with the lady in charge today, her name is Charlie Hilliard and she is a fantastic lady with an amazing vision !!

I personallly am very proud that we fishermen are going to be able to make such a big difference and have a great time to boot !!!

I hope that everybody entering this years derby is as excited as me for what we will be able to accomplish !!

Tickets are available today at Searun Tackle,Riverside Tackle and Highwater Tackle.... there are three more tackle shops that will also be selling tickets as soon as I have time to get to them. All of these shops have also told me they will make prize donations, as soon as I find out what they are they will be posted on this thread

This is going to be a huge success and I can't wait till Feb 15th !!!!

Good to hear Rick. The webpage for the derby will go up the end of this week and we'll start promoting it heavily on the main section of the website then.

A good organization to be donating the funds to as the river cam will be something people of all ages world wide will continue to enjoy.

I am sure the funds raised from the derby and donated will be much appreciated.

I agree with Chris and many other's. The camera is a very viable tool that will be accessed and used worldwide and especially by us local fishermen. I know I certainly get excited when I check out the Chehalis camera and this will be every bit as good. Thank's again Rick for all
the hard work you've done to get this all together and I can't wait for Feb. 15th. It's going to be great.
