Silver Salmon Derby – August 10th

Seward Silver Salmon Derby®

Date: August 10, 2013 – August 18, 2013

The Seward Silver Salmon Derby® is one of the oldest and largest fishing derbies in the State. Seward’s Derby is equally popular with locals, other Alaska residents, and visiting anglers from around the nation and world. Anglers vie for the largest Coho (Silver) Salmon and try to catch tagged fish worth prizes. Anglers turn their fish in daily, which are sold to raise funds for fish enhancement efforts.

Saturday morning, ticket sales begin at 5:30 AM at the Headquarters and sales locations around Seward.  Wherever you launch, we’re there to be sure you have a ticket before you go.

Daily tickets are $10, tickets for the full event are $50.  Proceeds from the Coho turned in support Fish Enhancement programs benefitting stocks in Resurrection Bay.

Did you know that Seward is the Number One Landing Site for Coho Salmon?  It’s true!  Fish on!
