2010 DERBY
Aug 14th - 22nd

In late summer each year, Resurrection Bay fills with tens of thousands of Silver Salmon and the city of Seward and the Conference and Visitors Bureau prepare for the Silver Salmon Derby held in August.

One of the oldest and largest fishing derbies in the State, Seward’s Derby is equally popular with locals, other Alaska residents, and visiting anglers from around the nation and world. 

Entrants simply purchase a daily or season Derby ticket, and may enter their fish caught from shore or from a boat. For anglers with a boat, Seward provides two boat launch areas located at the harbor. For our boat-less visitors, try one of the dozens of professional charter services available for hire for half day or full day excursions.

PRIZES

Derby prizes include $10,000 for the heaviest fish overall; $5,000 for the second-place Coho.  Top 20 fish reap rewards as do a variety of daily winners.  And, of course, the tagged fish.  Could you pull in to the dock with a $50,000 tag?

Don't forget about the prize drawing for $1,000 - anyone who purchases a Derby ticket is eligible! 

TICKET SALES

Derby tickets go on sale Friday night for early birds.  See us at Derby Headquarters (across from the B-Dock fish cleaning station) between 6PM and 10 PM to pick yours up.  Early birds remember that you MUST have your tickets validated Saturday morning before you leave the harbor!   

Saturday morning, ticket sales begin at 5:30 AM at the Headquarters and sales locations around Seward.  Wherever you launch, we're there to be sure you have a ticket before you go.

Daily tickets are $10, tickets for the full event are $50.  Proceeds from the Coho turned in support Fish Enhancement programs benefitting stocks in Resurrection Bay.

EVENT Sponsors

In addition to our LEAD sponsor, we rely on the generosity of the business community who contribute funds towards this historic event.  If you would like to assist our efforts to promote family-friendly sport-fishing activities while also sustaining local fish enhancement programs, contact us!
