The Sky Valley Chapter of TU is hosting small chum derby on November 4. We would like to invite the readers of this board and their friends. Fish must be legally caught in the Snohomish system including the Skykomish. Entry fee is $10.00 for adults; kids 15 and younger are free although they have to register. Cash prizes are for biggest fish: 1st prize $100.00, 2nd prize $50.00, 3rd $25.00.
Of course these are modest prizes however the intent is for everyone to go out and have some fun then meet each other at the end of the day. The weigh-in will be at 3:30 PM at the Lewis Street boat launch. Veteran guide Rod Bush will be the weigh master.
To enter in need you to mail your names and entry fees to the Chapter address by Friday, November 3rd. The address is PO Box 542, Monroe WA. 98272. Or you can contact me and make arrangements at gbeezer@aol.com.
We only expect about 25-50 entries so your chances are pretty good and it would be fun to meet some of you Snohomish system regulars. One important note however, if you bonk some big old spawner buck, we do expect that you or your in-laws are going to eat it. We are not trying to encourage weighing in some big old boot just to have it thrown in the ditch on the way home.
Looking forward to meeting some of you.

President of the Sky Valley Chapter of Trout Unlimited
