OLYMPIC PENINSULA SALMON DERBY

The Olympic Peninsula is a fisher’s paradise, and that is going to be celebrated March 9-11 this year in nearby Gardiner, Washington.

Originally named the Discovery Bay Salmon Derby, the event was renamed to reflect its growing size and popularity, as nearby communities all pitched in to make this one of the best times of the year for outdoor sports enthusiasts in Washington!

The Olympic Peninsula Salmon Derby is a fundraiser for the local community, but it’s also a chance for you to win fabulous prizes! With an estimated $16,000 worth of prizes at stake, this is your chance to A) prove that you’re the greatest fisherman around (no fake “fish stories” here!), B) do some good by raising money for community services and C) take home some fabulous prizes! It’s win/win/win!

Registration and details are available at the event website here.
