Mad River Steelhead Derby Opens

A hatchery fish only derby. The derby starts on January 15 and runs until February 29, 2024. That’s almost two months to catch a big fish! The three largest steelhead in both the adult and the youth divisions are eligible to win cash and prizes from Derby sponsors and partners. Just by signing up, you’ll be entered to win all kinds of raffle prizes. Some of these prizes include a Winner Take All Raffle, crazy amounts of fishing tackle, ocean and river trips with a professional guide or you can win a two-night Air-b-n-b stay, just minutes away from the Mad River. Sign up online at ncgasa.org or locally at RMI Outdoors in Eureka. Check out the derby’s website at madriversteelheadderby.com for more information. See you on the river! Tight lines!
