Welcome to the 2009 Bellingham Salmon Derby. The Bellingham Chapter of the Puget Sound Anglers, in association with the Northwest Marine Trade Association (NMTA) is proud to present our 5th annual Bellingham Salmon Derby.

The 2008 Derby saw excellent weather and great fishing. Out of 280 entrants we had 139 fish weighed in and many more than that were caught. The winning fish in the adult division was caught by Barry Hanson and weighed in at 26 lbs. 7 oz. The winning fish in the kids derby was caught by Darrell Knutsen and weighed in at 17 lbs 5 oz.

The 2009 Derby starts at daybreak on July 10th and ends at noon on July 12th. Fishing takes place in Area 7, commonly known as the San Juan Islands. The principal boat launch and facilities used will be at Squalicum Harbor in Bellingham. See the rules and maps pages for more details. The awards ceremony will be held in the dockside area at the Squalicum Harbor Boat launch beginning at 1:00 PM on Sunday, July 12th. Complimentary food and drinks will be provided.
