Well this thread has gotten very weird.  Dude cheated. Got busted. OK let's go win a boxing day derby. 25 years I only weighed 2 fish in. Figure that out. Many wilds released.  Let's Go!

Lots of rain ( 60+mm) and rise in the freezing level expected over the next 2 to 3 days. Could the Derby be a washout again?

I bet it will be fishable. Most of the snow is already gone, and the rain is spread out...

Someone will hook up

Graph spiked at 2.6 or so now looks like slight drop starting so fingers crossed.

At least 10 fish will be weighted tomorrow. Good rain

Is there a prize for a person who correctly predicts the Boxing Day Derby will be " postponed"?

Well, Mother Nature certainly has had her way with us this year. The river is not in good shape today, so we've decided to postpone the Boxing Day Steelhead Derby until next Sunday

don't know how accurate it is , but I was told 750 ticket shave been sold for the derby this coming Sunday. If so it should be a touch crowded out there for those participating in it. Hope it's a great day for all out there.

Was out today and the water is perfect. Should be a great day for the crowds to catch everything in the river!
