Also, there will be prizes for the longest fish and heaviest fish.  Not sure about a total weight prize, but I wouldn't be surprised.

Sounds like fun. I have never fished over there. So I wouldn't know where to start.

last winter over hunting we were talking to them in the cafe about this.. glad they could get it set up. this will be a good time for sure.

Sweet!  I'm going to win that mutha!

Sweet!  I'm going to win that mutha!   

Good luck.   Remember that's a pretty big body of water to catch one tagged fish during the hours of the one day derby.  Catch it 10 minutes late, and you're out the Jetcraft boat.

I know, I'm just dreaming again. I have won a prize in every salmon derby I've ever entered believe it or not. The Everett and Edmond's coho derbies, and the South Puget Sound derbie. I have yet to win one or win a boat so I think it's my turn.     It's my audacity of hope thingy!

Sure is a high entry $ fee for a trout derby.

Actually kind of cheap if you look at what the prize may be.

Most bass tournies I fish are from a 175-350.00 per team and you have to fish seven of them just to get into the championship round to even hav a remote chance of winning a boat.

That is true, but winning the boat is about like winning the lotto. Either way I will be fishin it! 

[MtnMuley]

Can you imagine the amount of entries if the biggest overall fish won the boat?!

[DeerHarvester]

Yeah and I bet they would make more money in the long run.  I would like to know what percent of proceeds the tribe is receiving.
 Maybe it can help fund one of the many law suits they are involved in.  Oh.... That's right they just received a 193 million dollar settlement from the federal government last month.

I'll be fishing it. $50 bucks is a little high but you get a t shirt, BBQ and a good shot at a prize.  If I read right the city of Bridgeport is putting it on and that town could use a few bucks.

I gave Nell's Cafe a call, talked to a wonderful lady that has lots of info to share. She says that 100% of all proceeds will be put back into the purchase of more Triploids for restocking into Rufus Woods. All other prizes will be supplied by the sponsers including Dave's boat. She's hoping for a very large turn out because Triploids for restocking are running over $8.00 a pound.

[backyard bucks]

NOW THAT IS FUNNY!!!! 8 dollars a pound for stocking..
hmmmmm
is that the cost that the insurance company had to pay for the OOOPPS our nets broke in the high water when we were having a huge die off??? LOL..

don't get me wrong i love that they "released" them because they are a blast to catch and bring lots of revenue to the area...
