The entry forms are available HERE

Please note! This year all derby fees MUST be paid in advance. We accept personal cheque by mail or can accept Visa/MasterCard over the phone. If you can track us down in person we will also be happy to take cash.

We’re looking forward to another successful weekend of fishing, fun, and fundraising. This year all the proceeds will be going to the Steelhead Society of BC and The Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC.

As I look out my window into the whiteout blizzard dumping snow all through the Thompson Nicola region…I CANNOT WAIT for Spring to get here!

Start tying your flies now, we’re officially on derby day countdown.

Who Loves Quality Gear

IMG_4162 (2)I know I do. Our home is littered with Islander Reels of all shapes and sizes and they never let us down. I wish I was eligible for the derby cause Islander has joined the sponsorship team again! For trout anglers in search of the perfect fly reel, the Islander has it. Precision machined, buffed to a mirror finish and built to exacting standards—all in Canada.

Texs Flies

 

If you’re fly fishing…you need flies. Rob Texmo has once again offered up a box of his premium flies. Anyone who has been to previous derbies knows that these are a hot commodity and greatly admired.

 

Thanks to Islander Reels and Flies by Tex for helping to make the May Long weekend a success!

 

We’re Back!

Hello, hello, anglers!

We promised we would bring back the PCM Derby and we are! Mark your calendars for the 2018 May long weekend, the 19th and 20th!

All the money raised through this year’s derby will be split between The Steelhead Society of BC and Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC. Both organizations are committed to enhancement and conservation of BC’s fish resources through research, conservation and education programs.

What’s happening? Let’s see…the new and improved Whispering Pines Ranch is our host once again. They are providing all the camping for the derby participants and their families.  Contact them to reserve your space in advance.

We’ve got donations coming in already. I’ve said it before, but we have the BEST sponsors!
