Or is there a list of the prizes somewhere?

Coveted Ferguson Furnell Trophy of course, awarded since 1938.

The winner gets first choice from the prize table. In the past I believe a rod and reel combo is chosen.

me and my dad will be attending, we fish properly and respect every fish that we find.
after all  sure fishing  derby makes us dream of the winning fish, but we do not go out of our way to "snag fish" i've watched people poach fish all year.
if you don't like it that much, i would appriciate all this negativity redirected to the government offical responcible for the fisheries.
Good luck to all contenders  i'll see you at the clubhouse.
