So I think everybody is ok with the idea of having partners for our derby!!
do we want to choose our own partners or draw names randomly and get who we get ????
lets see what happens :)
-
I think we should draw names. In my opinion, keeps it fair, and up to chance. Besides, a chance to meet and fish with new members. Either way it should be a blast!! ;D
-
I like that idea. Oh and by the way I just noticed this is a Sunday so it works for me.
-
Big no for me.
-
random sounds good to me
-
I don't know if people would want to get stuck with a steelhead newbie like me :)
-

Who cares, it is for a good cause and is supposed to be a fun day. I wouldn't worry about that. Just listen and watch. But don't ask a ton of questions whioe the person is concentrating on their float!! ;D ;D
-
Are you guys anti social? Maybe you will be paired up with a steelhead champ why not take a chance?
-
I say Draw names, does not mean you have to fish side by side does it??????????????

haha, ok I'll remember that. Ya the drawing names sounds like a pretty good idea.
-

Nope you are just a team!! If you have 2 vehicles or even of you don't, you could fish 2 sections of the river at the same time and cover more water. You know, if that's what you would like to do!! ;D ;D At least that is what I would do if I was with an experienced guy that felt good fishing on their own!! ;D
-
I am not anti social in anyway it is just that I like to fish for steelhead with the guys that I have fished with for years. We pretty much know what each of us is going to do and what to use at certain times. I hope that no one fells offended by this. Like I said in an other post if it was for any other species I would be in.
-
DRAWING RANDOM NAMES WOULD MAKE IT VERY INTERESTING! I HAVE A FUNNY FEELING ID END UP WITH THICK RICK !
P.S LEAVE UR CANNOTS HAT AT HOME !

I wasnt picking on you flyguy I was picking on big bad freak LOL

He is totally lying!!!! ;D ;D ;D No but really, Flyguy is a great guy and he is a pleasure to fish with!! I have a day saved for you and Searun the next time you guys can make it out!! ;)
-
What's this we now have to reserve a day to fish with you. It is now more like if we can sqeeze you in ;D ;D ;D .
-
I take back the great guy thing. Now he is just overly cocky!! Catch one fish and thinks he is all that!! ::) ;D
-
A day saved for what Dave? ???Also i think it s a great idea to draw names for partners but if my young son Guppy wants to go i don't know how that would work out .
-

Dont worry the draw of names will be fixed if Rick is in charge LOL
-
Well if guppy goes then I will fish with freak or maybe that will be the day that dave has reserved ;D ;D .
-
No comment!! ;D
-
I like the idea of drawing names for partners. If you are fishing with your kids or have to supervise someone no ones gonna stop you from doing that I`m sure.
Cheers
Nuggy.
-
random is amazing :)
-
It doesn't matter to me , I plan on catching the biggest fish, so I will take whoever I fish with to the winner's circle ;) ;D
AND CAPT BONK, YOU THINK YOU COULD STAND A DAY OF LISTENING TO HOW GOOD THE NUCK'S ARE ? AS LONG AS YOU ARE A GOOD ROD I WILL EVEN LET YOU TALK ABOUT THE FLAMERS!! ;D
-
I had planned on bringing a friend who doesn't get out fishing much... I would rather choose my own partner
-

seeing as I do not have a partner I am all for a draw. :)
EZ
-
Well, i KNOW no one wants to be stuck with someone that has NEVER done it ::) and no worries to that! I'll probably bring my neighbor (who is not newbie, but not mr. experience either) - bottom line is it's a fun day fishing that happens to raise a little money for the cause, right?
While I'd appreciate going out with some of you super studly fisherguys, I wouldn't even WANT to saddle you with a 190 lbs handicap that doesn't know what he's doing!
So my vote is no, no random drawings for this one (maybe we could have a 'random derby' one day, specifically for random, and match newbies with experience to level the field??)
-
I think Big Steel should fish on his own, if he's so good! LOL Only implying what ur name says! ;D
-
how come evry ones being so mean to Dave??
I was mean to Dave once and now..... he won't fish with me at all :'(
:D :D :D ;)
-
^ MAYBE CUZ U WERE FISHING IN HIS SECRET SPOT !
-
When the hell is it????
I think you should wait and see who shows up first...I think a draw would be cool too...Is this supposed to be a fun deal to help raise money or are some of you guys just in it for the win??? I don't know a lot about steelheading but I know from playing in many golf tournaments no one likes seeing the top players togeather, It should be a level playing field IF this is supposed to be fun...
Honestly, It kind of pisses me off that guys would say they don't want to get "stuck" with someone...There are a bunch of new guys/gals..(sassy.) that could really use the help from learning from you guys....My .02, sour taste in my mouth from this, I'm not in..

um.... this started out as an FWR derby.... something to bring us all together in person for a fun day doing what we love to do and somewhere in the beginning someone threw out the idea of fishing in teams of 2. Myself... i don't really care how it is run, I will show up, bring the promised prize donations and foodstuffs and regardless of who i spend the day with and regardless if some so called "top rod" wins the derby. I would prefer if it was every man for himself as most derbies are run, but i am not the organizer. You should come xGolfman.. even if you are not paying a derby fee, it would be good to hang out with a bunch of ya and get to know you off the internet. In the interest of democracy, the organizer put a choice for everyone interested to weigh in on.... please don't exclude yourself based on skill level and experience. Besides if we did a random draw for partners, so called top rods would and could end up being paired anyways, and the opposite would be possible as well with total newbies getting paired up. I think that if you have a fishing partner... fine... if you don't.. throw your names in a hat and a draw will decide your partner.
-
What Alwaysfishin says makes a lot of sense. Bottomline for me is that I see the entry fee going to a good cause and if I catch a fish great. Regardless of who I get paired up with, I am sure I will have a fun day.
-
Well for me I have seen enough to realize that it is going to cause problems !
so I think it would be best if we went back to each person for themselves, pairing sounded like a good idea but in reality I think it is a no go.. so from now on don;t worry about partners, if you want to fish with one two or how ever many other people that is fine but come weigh in there will be no teams !!

sounds good now

Yeah, your right..sorry i got all PMs on you guys for that...Real sore spot for me because of golfing..should know better...the draw could do just that..the only way to make it level would be to have an A pool and B pool draw, I'm just thinking that I've seen posts before from guys who want to come but don't know the river etc. that well and would really appreciate being with one of the regulars..( me included )...the other thing would be I REALLY want to catch my first steelhead on the fly and want to fish that way, I would feel like I was cheating my partner If I was doing that...
OK, I'm off my soap box...it is about the fun and raising a little money for a good cause...What's the deal on prizes??? Are we looking for donations? Food?...let me know....I'm fishing for the biggest stick... :-[

This is to be a fun event which I sure it will be. Wait to you get over 60 (now 63) like me and you donot or try not to take things very seriously as having a good time when out fishing is the main thing. I can go out for days on end with not even a bite but I am happy just to be able to get out there.
As the years slip by you know in a few years it will be difficult to walk the flow so that is why I soak up every minute when I am out there as there is no guarantees in this life.
Gosh if it was a draw system I would be honored to fish with anyone, even if they had never fished steelhead before. If I could help that person hook a fish what a day that would be, memories to last a life time.
That is what I and many on this forum are here for, to share our knowledge of this great activity, boast of our successes, laught at our mishaps and failures as well as getting the opportunity to meet so many great people which I am sure we will do on this outing.
Who really cares who wins, while it is a Maple Leaf fan. ;D ;D
-
I want to fish with Chris so I can convince him the error of his ways and back a true winner. ;D
-
Well said Chris i couldn't agree more,oh except for that leafs thing ;D ;)
-
Me too. Thanks for making me see it differently. It should be a fun day and I hope people will still say hi.

Yes I am a little anti social and had planned on fishing with my regular fishing partner, I just don't feel like beaking somebody out that can really fish or feel obligated to keeping up to someone thirty years younger than myself. I think the drawing for partners thing should be optional. All said though I can have fun fishing with ALMOST anyone! Just an afterthought if I got partnered up with someone that wanted to go fish the KWB with 8 ft. of leader it would be a short day for me. :D

It was decided quite some time ago that we will not be fishing with partners , you can fish by yourself or as many people as you like, but come weigh in time it is each man / woman for him/herself
