The Wally Hall Jr. Memorial Fishing Derby is a tribute to Wally Hall Jr. and his family, who loved to fish and created many memories fishing along the Chilliwack/Vedder River.
The derby is organized and supported by Fred's Custom Tackle, Fishing with Rod, and the Chilliwack Fish and Game Protective Society and typically runs from December 1 to March 15 each year. Anglers pay a registration fee to participate and these fees are generously donated to the Fraser Valley Watersheds Coalition to continue stewarding and restoring the Chilliwack/Vedder River and key tributaries. The goal is to encourage our community to get outside, connect with each other and the river, and through fishing, contribute towards the river's conservation and well-being.
While a derby is not for everyone, you can still donate to the Wally Hall Jr. Memorial Fund and your donation will be used specifically for the Chilliwack/Vedder River watershed to support salmon habitat and stewardship efforts.
