The derby kills a LOT more salmon than what is put on the board. The mishandling of released fish, non use of rubber nets, hook wounding, etc, etc, shows up and kills way more fish than what is “boarded”. You can see the results of the derby by the amount of floating fish for two weeks following the derby. I see it first hand living full time on Welch Island. What many people do not realize is the derby was initially started to REDUCE the amount of salmon in the lake...nuff said!
