2008 Winner is Joe Kadar with a 36.8 pound Chinook which he caught entirely on his own!
Second place went to Gary Cooper who was put on the fish by number one guide Joanne of Island Outfitters. They came in with a 34.2 pound spring & lead the derby for all of Saturday.
3rd place went to Conrad DePalma who reeled in a 31.8 pound spring.
4th: William Cooper with a 31.1 pound chinook.
5th was Vern Storry with a 30.7 pound chinook.
Fishing was quite a bit slower this year with only 54 chinook coming in on Saturday and 29 fish coming in on Sunday. It looks like they are a little late this year as reports up island both days were pretty hot fishing. Weather was superb.
Please check the web site periodically over the next while as the main sections are updated.
Pro-Troll Fishing Products, based out of California recently contacted the derby executive and let us know that they think that the Juan de Fuca Salmon Derby is now the "Top Derby in Canada". Thanks to all who make this event such a tremendous success.
At this time we especially want to give a very heartfelt thank you to all of our sponsors who have called and e-mailed to let us know that they are back this year and also for their encouraging comments about what a great derby the Juan de Fuca Salmon Derby is. Their moral support as well as their financial support is what keeps this derby going so strong. The prize board and the Salmon Enhancement program both benefit widely from their enthusiastic support. Their high energy support and encouragement means a lot more to us than we can say in words alone.
The 2007 Photo Galleries are posted on our photo page.

February 12, 2008: The, work has already started on the
plans for the 23nd Annual Juan de Fuca Salmon Derby slated
for Father's Day weekend, June 14 and 15, 2008. As most participants
know, there is a tremendous amount of work that goes into
this derby. As the old saying goes, "Many hands make
light work". So, to that end, we would like
to invite and encourage anyone interested in helping out
this year to volunteer in any way possible. To help
out, please contact George at: gwetherell@jdfsalmonderby.com or
Fred at: mcculloughfred@shaw.ca Your

February 20 , 2008: We
will be able to continue with the very successful and innovativemethod of weighing the fish caught this year. Juan
de Fuca Salmon Derby has teamed up with the folks
at Fish Tactics to bring participants live fish weights
as they occur. When you bring your fish in this year,
it will be weighed at the patented "Dockside
Terminal" weigh scale. The Dockside Terminal
takes a photo of the fish and angler & records
the weight. Consequently you will be able to see
a picture of each fish as it is weighted & the
results board is automatically updated. Web space
is set up but, the actual results board is activated
at our Derby opening time and can not be viewed until
then. The real action starts opening derby day. Click
on any of the results on the board to go to the individual
pictures, also live time on the FishTactics.com site.
The results board & individual photos will remain
online after the derby is over. In the meantime,
use the link above to see what is happening. Use
the links there now to see how FishTactics is able
to make this happen.
