Hey Folks,

The King of the Drift derby was hosted at the Dennys Dam Park on the Saugeen River earlier this fall on November 7, 2015. Ben Lam was one of the primary organizers and the event proved to be a success.

The derby was focused on combined fish length. Each entrant could enter two steelhead trout and use the combined length of the two fish as a total length. There were 3 entrants who tied for first place. The winner holding the trophy was the longest fish that was caught on artificial bait.
