Who
says fishing isn't a spectators sport?????
The FFFES Annual Burbot Derby was
initiated in 1988, to promote the use of rough fish thus alleviating the
pressure on prime species (trout, walleye, pike).
The Burbot Derby is held the first
weekend in April every year and runs from the Friday to the Sunday.
Thanks to the effort of our
dedicated volunteers and sponsors we are able to award THOUSANDS of Dollars in
cash and prizes.
These prizes are awarded in
several different event categories including: the Vaughan Kshywiecki Memorial
Main Event, Youth Event, there are also prizes for oldest fisherman and
fisherwoman, daily largest and smallest, and best dressed burbot, and Sunday
draws to name a few. Check out
prize list for more information.
In 1994, the
World Record Burbot was caught on Lake
Athapapuskow during the Burbot Derby, by Vaughan Kshywiecki. The fish weighed
22 pounds 8 ounces and measured 42 1/2 inches long.
In 1998 Vaughan passed away, the
FFFES decided to rename The Main Event, The Vaughan Kshywiecki Memorial Main
Event in honor of Vaughan's memory.
