The 9th Annual Brewster King Salmon Derby!!
On behalf of the Brewster Chamber of Commerce, we want to welcome you once again to our Brewster, WA area and say thank you for choosing to be a part of our Annual Brewster King Salmon Derby. We know you enjoy the great fishing we have here where the Columbia and Okanogan Rivers meet. The salmon run is going well and we are sure you will again have plenty of opportunities to catch the wining fish. We will be giving away lots of cash and prizes as always!
New this year
The Wenatchee Salmon Derby on July 18 and 19 will be running a combined individual weight prize class with the Brewster Salmon Derby Derby on August 1, 2 and 3; this is over and above all other available prize's. You are automatically entered by fishing both derby's. The top 3 individual combined weight's and total weight caught in the two derby's will win either a pair of Cannon Digi-Troll 10 downriggers (value of $2798.99), a Lowrance 8 series color sonar/GPS, (value $1999.99) or a yet to be determined fantastic prize. Fish them both for more chances to win and more fun too! Tickets for both derby's are available at their web sites: wenatcheesalmonderby.com or Brewster Salmon Derby Tickets.
