The Willamette Springer event is not a derby, in that there is no prize money. It is a fund raiser for fishing related projects. It used to be administered by the Wildlife Heritage Foundation but is now put on by an organization of local guides & the event (usually late March- call Fisherman's Marine Supply in Oregon City for details) is called "Hogs N Dogs". Guides donate their time & clients pay a bit more than the usual fee (tax deductable). They do keep score for team honors before a BBQ banquet (they have more than just the namesake hot dogs).- The WHF still puts on a similar fund raiser for fall chinook in Tillamook.- Steve
