Rufus Woods - Trippin for Triploids Derby

[plugger]

The more you pay, the better it pays. The walleye turneys run 370.00 plus but they pay out pretty good. I plan on fishing it, They say you can launch at 5 different locations but I dont no if you have to have your fish back to where you launched by 3:00 and they transport them to the weight station or if you have to get them to the scales yourself by3;00. Any idea's?

I'm confused by the launching situation as well.  We have friends with property on Rufus where we usually launch. Can we launch there or do we have to use a designated one? Could be a mess I'd like to avoid.

 "2) ALL anglers must check in Saturday morning, prior to fishing, at their designated
check-in location. NO EXCEPTIONS!

now does that mean you can't check in and then head back to your private launch to avoid the congestion? not sure.. i would call nell's and ask.. that is good question.

I believe a phone number was provided to answer questions that guys on an internet forum cant answer, just a tip, lol.

Curious to see how many people are planning on being there for the derby. Sounds like it is going to be a good turn out.

I talked to Nancine last Friday from Nell's Cafe and she stated that they had planned for 75 entries and as of Friday they had over 200. Sounds to me like a very good turn out...

fished the bridgeport area Sat and Sun, between four boats of us, and two float tubes, total of 14 rods in the water,  we scored only three trout. all 15 inchers. i tried by nespelem as well, Friday and not even a tug.....unless they plan on releasing a ton of fish, im thinking its gonna be a little slow.

How do you figure? You couldnt fish a turd out of a toilet bowl!

There will be more fish released for the derby. So hopefully it picks up and gets better. I was talking to fisherman at the nets pens on fri or sat, and he said that some fish escaped from the pens when one was being emptied.

Maybe that explains all the 13"ers this weekend. 

Gonna be rough go for the most part Saturday for those of you fishing.  Good luck.
