Hey Rick, unfortunately I won't be able to make it as I just found out last night that we have access to a friends beach house on the Oregon coast and are leaving early Friday for 5 days of fun. Sorry about that but hopefully I can make the next derby. Wish you all the Best !!!!

So how was the turn out? Who won? Great day to get out.

Thanks for the hospitality, meet some people made up for the day.  But I will defend my title of smallest spring a 3.10 pounds.  Skill baby

It turned out to be a fantastic day for the derby, the sun was shining and it was a warm 15 degrees throughout the day,
we ended up getting less than 30 entries but that makes sense when it it held on a long weekend and also while we were competing with another derby on the same river, this has been noted and next year the derby will be on a different weekend. Allthough we only had 30 fishermen enter, at times we had close to 80 people who came out to support the cause by buying raffle/50-50 tickets and enjoying a great BBQ lunch and good company !!

There were 7 fish weighed in ( apparently it was a very tough fishing day ) with largest Coho caught by Ian W weighing in at 9lb 1oz


The biggest Spring was caught by Francis and it weighed in at an even 18 lbs


The smallest coho was weighed in by Kevin C and it didn't even hit the lb mark


The smallest Spring was caught by Mike H weighing in at 3lb 11oz

Narrowly beating out Chad H's entry weighing in at 3lb 12oz


honorable mentions got to Dave W with a Coho at 3lb12oz

and Roy with a Coho weighing 4lb13oz


Roy won the hidden weight Coho prize and Francis won the hidden weight Spring prize

there were at least 30 more prizes left after the derby prizes were given out and many peopleleft happy with some great stuff !!!

A huge thank you goes out to all of our sponsors who made this possible, and also to all those who helped me out cooking,cleaning,serving,selling tickets etc...

here are a few more random photo's from the day ..... I hope next year we will see alot more people from this site at the derby








tight lines everyone !!
