This annual memorial seasonal steelhead derby runs from December 1st, 2025 to March 15th, 2026 on the Chilliwack/Vedder River. Proceeds generated from the derby will be used for habitat restoration projects, and conservation measures to protect our precious steelhead resource.

​​

Targeting hatchery marked steelhead only, Derby tickets are $20 each, which can be purchased at either Fred's Custom Tackle location or online at shopfreds.ca.

To weigh in a fish, bring it to Fred's Custom Tackle's Chilliwack store along with the fish recorded on your license. From there we'll weigh, measure, record your catch, and take a quick pic. If you don't want to be in the picture, no worries, hold it up and have the fish say cheese.
