2018 Salmon Enhancement Derby
June 23 & 24, 2018 at Moutcha Bay Resort in Nootka Sound, Vancouver Island
The Salmon Enhancement Derby has been taking place annually since 2011 at Moutcha Bay Resort in Nootka Sound on Vancouver Island.
Entry Fee:
- $100 per contestant
- Targeting the larger Columbia River Chinook as they migrate south
In an effort to protect our precious brood stock salmon, the Salmon Enhancement Derby has evolved into a hidden-weight derby, where the winner is announced with the fish closest to the randomly drawn hidden weight. This also allows for everyone to have a chance to be a winner.
For Participants:
- Moutcha Bay Resort will serve as headquarters for the derby, where the fish weigh-in and prize ceremonies will take place.
- Participants are encouraged to pre-register with Guest Services in advance of arrival. Participants must be present for the prize presentation in order to qualify.
Prizes & Sponsors:
Our derby is successful because of the generous support of our sponsors. Sponsors have the option to support our derby through donations of cash, merchandise, or a combination of both. View the list of sponsors here.
Derby Rules:

This family-friendly event is designed to raise funds for salmon enhancement and habitat restoration within the Nootka Sound and Esperanza Inlet watershed.
