 Searun 17, Alwaysfishin and I are going, but I don't know if always is going to enter the derby!
But gt, he's whipped by his women, so he doesn't get to go!  He never gets to go! Well, I think that she might have let him out once!!  But he had to work for it! ;D ;D

At this point it looks like I will be there. I'm also contemplating a pre-derby scouting trip on the 25th.

I'll be recovering after my annual feast of smoked eel, salmon, pickled herring, cow tongue, and a couple hundred other Danish meat products... ;D So um ya, I won't be there. ;)

Every year I say I'll come out for the derby, but every year, I end up getting sucked into something else...

Went to the chehalis on the 27th last year, landed my latest season coho ever, so I'm looking forward to trying that again if I'm unable to make it out on the 26th.

Would be kinda nice catch my first steelie, and win a derby with it... 8)

Hey everyone,

I have been think about going for a few years now, and I'm really hoping to make it this year. Maybe if you have gone before you could let me know what to expect or any tips.

Let's just get things straigth, so there is no confusion!  That video was NOT from the derby, it was from Dec 29!!  It was the second steel that I hooked in two trips to start the season.  ;D ;D  Now now, gt don't get bitter, I had nothing to do with you not hooking one Steelie last year!! ;D ;D If you don't remember how I fish GT, I believe that it was 17 steelies hooked last year.! ;D ;D ;)

17 steelies hooked ,not bad ,but 17 in how many days on the water 500 or so ,you better not have any kids b.s. because the number of days on the flow will dramatically decrease as will your number of hookups and that will be sad because you wont be able to tell us everyday how many fish you have caught this year ,i guess i will really miss you reciting all your stats,lol.B.S. you better get over your small fish syndrome for the good of us all.HaHaHa.

Oh yeah, the video... Received this morning, watched it, laughed very hard but no sounds came out as I don't have a voice right now from the cold. ;) Working on it to get it to the world wide web soon.
