I hope the river is great and everyone enjoys the derby. :beerchug: I may not be in the derby and will likely not fish that flow because of it but these people are my peers and many of them do a world of good for our sport. I hope they all have a great time :drunk:
Good luck to those fishing at the derby. Due to committment in YVR, won't be able to get out to the flow.
However, will be on the Vedder on Monday. Plan on taking a few of my friends, that have yet to catch a fish on the Vedder.
3rd time casting with a CP, and love it. Next going to fish with my home made ROE. Hopefully will catch my first Coho, ever.

We will also have 5 prizes for children 6 and under that participate in the derby. There will also be an outdoor BBQ following the presenting of the prizes. Cost to enter the Coho Challenge and enjoy the BBQ is $5 per person and $15 per family. We are also making available fishing outfits for those who want to fish but don't have the equipment.
Prizes are being donated by our church, fishing tackle stores in the community, businesses and private donors. There are some quality prizes being presented at the Derby/Challenge. This is a first for our church and want it to be something positive for the whole family and community.
To purchase tickets or wanting more information you can contact myself, Rod at 604-308-3040 cell or 604-847-0271 home. Tickets for purchase will also be available at Hub's, Fred's Tackle and Chilliwack Dart & Tackle by this Monday.

Just for information sake: the post about our church sponsoring a coho derby Saturday Oct. 2 is an ad for 2004
not this weekend.
Curious Mefish, which forum did you get this ad from? It is very outdated. Glen contacted me and told me of the confusion. Thanks Glen.

here's a weird one.....wanted some info on the derby sponsored by the church so i called the guy on the posting named rod and he knows nothing about it......he sponsored a derby 3 years ago and knows nothing about this one.....he is going to contact the moderaters to get the posting removed......nice guy though.....anyone know anything about and if this derby is on
AND they say that you have to camp in their campground, and because it's a long weekend that they'll only rent a site to you if you're staying 2 nights. I woulda entered but at $23 a night for camping in a "grass field" plus entry fee of $20 I think I'll pass. I'll probably swing by at weigh in time to see the fish and how I woulda made out.hunterj said:

there were 70 guys entered in the derby. biggest spring was 29lbs. my friends registered in the derby and never stayed in the park. where did you get your info as it was not part of the prerequeset to fish in the derby. want to find out as there could of been more entries and want to get to the bottom of this info as they will probably have one next year. did you get it from the front desk at vedder campground etc.
