Check out the derby info here and click on the link for the derby poster. It is a great derby to bring the children to, lots of displays, great food and great prizes even if you donot catch a pikeminnow.

7 of us and went tagging pike minnows for the derby today on Cultus Lake. Rodney and Nina also came to do some filming of the fishing. We tagged 33 pike minnows and there has been about 84  now tagged this year. A tagged pike minnow caught on derby day is worth from $100 to $500 depending on how many are caught. Last year there was only one caught and the fish gave the lucky angler $500. I was outfished by most only landing 4 fish big enough to be tagged. It was a beautiful day on the lake and was very calm until about 4:00 when the wind came up.

Derby tickets are now on sale at Freds Custom Tackle, Chilliwack Dart and Tackle, Rosedale Mini Mart and Kent Outdoors.

Also forgot to mention 3 nice cutthroat were caught along with some chub, suckers and sculpins.

The derby only one week away tomorrow so do not forget to get your tickets. 75% of the prizes are drawn from tickets bought before the day of the derby so you do not even have to catch a fish to win some great prizes.

sorry if I've missed it, but is there a prize for "biggest entry"?  or top 3 biggest fish or something?  And if so, what was the prize for biggest last year?
thanks.

Yes for boys and girls. They both won bikes. I believe the adult winner won a float tube. Lots of good prizes this year again, bikes, BBQ, 8 camera's, PVR to name a few of the major prizes  that I know of.

All locations of the lake, I belive there was 108 tagged the last 3 weeks. One was recaptured last week so a good chance someone will get one on derby day.

Glad you are taking part in the derby again this year.
