We're expanding our Fishing Derby!  Everyone enjoyed our Derby so much last year that we decided to make it 2 days worth of fun this year.  Check out our YouTube video!  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQhMZm51EP0

We will start the weekend off with check in at the Visitor Center, all day Friday, February 19, 2010 from 8:00 am until 6:00 pm.  We will also be in the Visitor Center from 7:00 until 8:00 am on Saturday, February 20th for additional check in.  If you have already registered and received your yellow tags, there is no need to check in.  Remember, you must be registered and paid before 6:00 pm on Friday, February 19th.  There will be NO registrations AFTER 6:00 pm on Friday, February 19th.

The Derby will be limited to the first 100 teams to enter.  Registrations are filling up so don't miss out on this event.  Register today!

We will be fishing the Lower Sunshine Reservoir on Saturday, February 20th and the Upper Sunshine Reservoir on Sunday, February 21st.

Cost:  Early registration is $75/team (1, 2 or 3 man teams) until February 6th at 5:00 pm.  The fee after February 6th is $100/team.  All registrations will end at 6:00 pm on Friday, February 19th.  We will accept no registrations after that time.  We also will be having a Teams' Calcutta.  Each team has the option of buying in your own team for $60 per team for the Teams' Calcutta pot.  If your team is a winner in the Derby, you also are the Calcutta winner.  It's a chance to win some pretty good money!  Cash prizes for 1st through 5th place Derby teams plus 1st through 5th for the Calcutta winners.

Kids 14 and younger are in our Small Fry Division and there is no registration fee, however, they must have all the same forms as our adults and be signed by a parent or responsibile adult.  You may use the same forms as the Adult registration, just add that they are 14 or younger and in the Small Fry Division.  Winners in the Small Fry Division will win merchandise prizes.

In February, the ice is always thick and the fish are plentiful.  Upper Sunshine Reservoir has only cutthroat trout but the Lower has a variety.  Come join us in this beautiful Meeteetse country, enjoy fishing and maybe take home a dollar or two (or lots more!).  Our 1st place team last year took home a check for $882.00!
