This August Castlegar will host the Invasive Species Fishout Derby on the Columbia River. The intent is to catch as many walleye (within regional guidelines) and northern pike as possible because both species were introduced to the waters here and are detrimental to the native species of trout, Kokanee, and others. Hosted in conjunction with Fishing BC, the derby will be held Aug 14-23rd on the Columbia River and the cost to enter will be $40. The total purse is valued at $3,250 in cash and prizes are guaranteed thanks to our sponsors.
