For those that wish an early look at the derby winner, the winning steelhead and the Ferguson Furnell Trophy I have it at the Fraser Valley Salmon Society's facebook page.

As always had a great time participating in the derby. 8th year and still yet to weigh in a fish but there's always next year :P river was in great shape, little low but vis. around 4 ft. Got into a small wild about 7-8 pounds early in the am and thought I was in for a heck of a day but no dice. Did manage to land a nice resident rainbow as well about 16 inches or so. Also missed a couple of hard takedowns. Was a great day and the rain was nice enough to hold off, watch out next year guys, I'm do ;D

Due to popular demand, Rod will move the steelhead derby report to General Discussion shortly, along with more pictures, my fail for not putting it here in the first place. :-[

I most likely will not catch a steelhead today for that.  :'(

For those who are looking the derby results, I've merged the original report that Chris has filed with this thread so please go through the thread to find it.

I have also attached a PDF file of the complete results for you to download.
