62nd Annual Vedder River Steelhead Derby
Top Five Fish
First fish weighed in Travis Heathman 10 pounds 15 ounces at 8:35am, one hour and one minute before Wade Gienow who had the second fish brought in, 9 pounds 15 ounces. Heaviest by a club member, Martin Fraser, 9 pounds 11 ounces. Smallest fish, Lars Nilsson, 6 pounds. Hidden Weight, Ken Edmonston, 8 pounds, 11 ounces. 5 ounces off the hidden weight. Website contributor Chris Gadsden was a volunteer at the derby as well as a participant. Although his 10 pounds 2 ounces catch did not land him at top places, he was one of the few lucky ones who had a chance to fight this magnificant sportfishing species on the day. You can read his derby report on this page. Back to Fishy News. |

The
62nd Annual Boxing Day Steelhead Derby in Chilliwack was delayed
to New Year Day due to heavy rainfall which lead to poor river conditions.
This certainly did not dampen the spirit of diehard steelhead anglers,
306 participants took part in this year's derby. In total, 13 fish
were weighed in by the end of the derby, 3 fish more than last year's
competition. Bruce Bishop was the derby winner with the King Fish
of 13.36lbs.
