Despite incredibly harsh stormy weather, (I heard stories of taking refuge in Kyuquot, and braving 15 foot waves) a fuel shortage in Esperanza, and no running water for part of the weekend in Tahsis, the sportfishers who took part in the Salmon Derby last weekend had a wonderful time and showed unprecedented generosity for a good cause.
"It's all about the fish!" was the catch phrase of the weekend. Between the registration fees, the silent auction, the live auction and the other various donations, the hardworking staff, volunteers and participants raised over $36 000 for the Tahsis Salmon Enhancement Society.
