just an idea of mine. it would be nice to see more fish maybe we could get an indoor place and have an auction to raise money for the river50|50 draw and such
-
A good idea, to have another derby. I like the idea of having a photo derby so those of us that choose to release all of our steelies can get involved in it as well.
edit: I voted hell ya!

You going to organize it?
-
i have never done that but i could help and get some prizes why do you ask ? bad experience? 8)

Nope just asking. I have my hands full with all the things I am doing for the Alouette otherwise I would help. Maybe BigSteel wants to help I think he needs the karma right now LOL

What Nuggy said. Too many times in one year would not make it special eventually. Wouldn't people rather see lots of people attending one grand event instead of small groups of people attending several events overtime? Secondly, derbies require prizes. Tacklestores are not charities, they are businesses. If donations are requested too often, then it may ultimately force stores to reduce the amount given away each time.
There are plenty other events ahead of us in 2007 by the way. Now that members know each other after the derby, you can always hook up with each other and do small group outings on weekends. We'll probably do the usual Kawkawa Lake kokanee trip later on in spring, St Mary's Lake smallmouth bass trip, barfishing trip in July when chinook salmon arrive, plus all the river cleanups ahead of us, BC family fishing weekend in June, perhaps a put-and-take lake trout derby in April. I'm sure we will not be bored. ;)

A mid - late June Chinook derby on the Fraser sounds like a great idea. I know I can play water taxi if we want to hit the bar across from Island 22.

Fish-In would be better. It won't be easy getting prizes twice in one season. My advice would to have it in Febuary when theres a few more fish around so we can make a fish/burger grill.
I agree with the fishin idea. Don't really have any reason for it, other that I would like to go out to just relax while fishing knowing that I have nothing else to prepare for. I think that I myself am derbied out for a while. :)A mid - late June Chinook derby on the Fraser sounds like a great idea.

I would be in for this though. ;D But think it would be better served as being an early/mid July thing. We had a little one last year that was a blast. ;D I believe that the Freak won the smallest fish prize!! ;D

Chinook derby sounds great!! We should also get an over night camp out get together going in july or Aug. Last year me and my bro and some freinds did that for 2 nights! It was awsome bring some beers have a big fire! Fish from dawn till dusk! Thats the life ;D
-
An overnighter is a good idea.
-
An overnighter trip sounds like a lot of fun. Good idea
-
Sounds like it could be lots of fun, im down and also have a boat.

I think the one we had last Sunday was very very good and enjoyable as well as raising the $1040 for the betterment of the river.
As I said yesteday I would mention the derby at our meeting today with the Environment Minister, I think he too was impressed in what was done when I mentioned it to him. He knows there is lots of us that want to do the best we can to preserve our rivers and all the steelhead and other fish that live there.
Saying that, having one a year makes it all the more special and something to look forward too. As well I agree with reasons given by Rodney and others to make it an annual event.

Any love for a fish in at a lake over a weekend...errr...flyfishing??? kickboats, tents, big trout??
OR, we get freak to move early and go visit him for the weekend and really catch some fish!!! Just kidding Anthony, you'd be sorely missed... :'(

You wasted post number 800 on that ??? ;D ;D Sorry I have a soft spot for post number 800!! ;D ;D
But, I wouldn't mind flyfishing a lake or 2!! You know of any, I could probably find some gear!! ;D
-
Well we could find a place in the Merritt region just depends on how many people want to join us. We could hit my favorite lake Island lake behind the Highland Valley Copper Mine. Perfect for small boats and float tubes. I could arrange a lake fish-in as thats some of my favorite kind of fishing :)

You wasted post 2900 on that? Big steel I think its time to get a Steely before you make another post. ;D
I think the FWR Steelhead Derby should be once a year, and do a bunch of FWR group fishouts.
-
A lake fishin sounds great too.
-
I think a lake fish-in or even mid-July springer are both excellent ideas but I will have to take a wait and see attitude as to what's on the old agenda at that time. I also like the steelhead derby as a yearly event but think having it a little bit later (early-mid Feb.) would
greatly increase both the number of people going and the number of steelys caught. Plus it would'nt be so damn cold.
