Just wanted to say thanks to Rick and his much better half, along with all the folks that helped put this together.  Was a great day out on the river and a great bunch of people at the ceremony.  Again thanks to everyone involved for the great cause.  Was also nice seeing a lot of people again I hadn't seen for a while.

Any idea of the number of wild fish released today by derby participants?
Don't know how many wilds were caught, I released 1 about 7-8 lbs.  Didn't see anything else were I was other than a guy that looked like he had one on for a moment across the river just after first light. :)

good to hear it went well, i hope i can get out to it next year, reason for not goin was dad tore a back muscle and i had no one to go with. Prizes looked awsome, and all fish entered were nice fish. Seems like this will be a tradition for years to come. Congrats to everyone, especially the guys who released fish.

Thanks Rick, your better half, and everyone else who help put this much needed event together... A very worthy cause!

It was nice meeting you all, we were fishing right until 2pm so we were a bit late... We fished hard with both fly and gear, we hit 7 runs all together, and it was just not meant to be... I didn't even see a fish caught by anyone Sunday.

I thought it would be in the bag, but instead I spent two days being skunked, that's steelheading!

Cheers,
Nicole

Thanks to Rick and all the others for putting the derby together.  Fished the derby with EZ Rolling, but we did not connect with any fish yesterday. And Nicole I am pretty sure we saw you, as we were also hard at it trying to find the elusive cold hard steel. All in all a fun time, looking forward to next year's derby.

Yup thx to Rick and the girls too, I had a excellent time and got some good pics that I'll send in after I return from Chetwynd. Sunday was actually my last official day of fishing for the next three weeks and I'm already going through withdrawal.
