Ok !!! I figured I would get this idea going a little earlier this year and see if we can't improve on the already great numbers we got last year !! once again I am hoping we can get together a ton of great prizes and a big Potluck lunch !! last year we raised over $1000

I am sure we can improve on that number and really start to make a difference, and at the same time have a great time doing it.... I also hope that we can get into a few more Steelhead than we got last time

I am hoping that all of you will read this and let me know what we can improve on from last year to make this even Bigger/Better,
any and all ideas are appreciated, I will also be looking for a number of volunteers to help out with the organization and running of the derby..

anyone that is interested in entering or volunteering please let me know so I can get a list of names started

this post goes out to all tackle shops / websites that are interested in donating prizes for the derby

Thx for taking the time to read this and I look forward to your responses

I'm in and I will even help out (after I catch my fish  ). 

[Hook Set]

I'm in. Had a great time last year.

[chris gadsden]

And I will not be sick this year.

  Even with the lack of fish last years derby was alot of fun. This year is gonna be even better, heck we may even have two fish at the weigh-in!


  We can help with some of the setup, and Mary has offered to flip burgers again.

Because there are many newcomers on the forum this fall, here are the photos and reports from last winter's derby for those who maybe interested to join in.

Thanks to Rick for volunteering to do this again, because it is a lot of work to put on a derby. I unfortunately will be in Denmark during that time as usual, but will provide some draw prizes. Once you guys have a date finalized, i'll let my contacts know regarding sponsoring the event.

I wasn't there last time, so can't make any suggestions on improvement. One thing I would add is perhaps doing the derby registration at Reaction Fly and Tackle since they open early in the morning and Timmy's next door too, this way people can stock up on their gear as well as breakfast instead of making two stops (Whatcom and Lickman)?

Perhaps Chris can get "The Master" out at the BBQ to provide a small clinic.

I am in for sure and once again I will hit up Randy at Hatch Matchers too get a donation. Will see if he will top last years.

[JL]

[THE_ROE_SLINGER]

[searun17]

Count me in,it was a great time last year,i will see if i can get some prizes again this year,sunday Jan 20 sounds good to me.

[BigFisher]

Come on Sam, dont pull that one you got last year out of the freezer.  
I hope I can come this year, wouldnt mind helping out. Hopefully the river is good that week so we all have a good chance of finding some fish.
