SALMON FISHING: South Sound to host 3 derbies in August

It is salmon derby time in the waters of the South Sound. Derbies will take place the first three weekends of August, offering anglers a chance to win a large amount of cash, prizes and a fishing boat.

If you manage to catch the largest salmon in each derby, you could go home with at least $8,500 in cash.


Here is a look at each of the upcoming derbies:
