Become a 2023 Derby Banquet Sponsor

On behalf of the Umpqua Fishery Enhancement Derby Steering Committee and Douglas Timber Operators, we are excited to announce the dates for the 31st Annual Fish Derby Spectacular to be held February 1 – February 4, 2023. This distinctive community event has grown into a prestigious Oregon tradition. Our ‘catch-and-release’ Steelhead Derby not only attracts anglers statewide, but also the finest fishing guides in the Northwest – making this an exceptionally unique experience for all participants! “The Derby” is an excellent opportunity to promote this partnership and foster a strong community-based commitment to fishery enhancement. The 2022 Derby Banquet/Auction featured over 500 attendees, whose combined efforts, along with generous contributions by our sponsors and supporters, raised over $90,000 toward fishery enhancement, restoration, and educational projects! Since inception, “The Derby” has contributed more than $1.9 million toward enhancement projects. And the bigger story is…ALL contributions are “matching funds” for large projects, which translates to a tremendous multi-million dollar investment in our Umpqua Basin fishery! We extend our sincere appreciation to all who have supported these outstanding efforts… THANK YOU! As a valued Derby Partner, may we again count on your support?
