Rancho Seco derby results

[Scott V]

I got a letter today from SMUD that had to be signed for, and since I am in PG&E territory I knew I had won something. It turns out I placed 10th overall and got a nice little check for $20 and a 1 day pass to Rancho Seco. And this was with just 1 fly and I mean I fished with just 1 fly, I only have 2 Dragonbuggers and 1 was missing about 3/4's of the tail so I used the one that was whole. Next derby I am going to go with all my flies and see if I can achieve a higher result, I know a fly can take top honors. But in the mean time I am very happy to have placed in 10th.

Right On Scott ... 10th place is not bad at all!! Congratulations! I lost an eye on my last dragonbugger today. So I need to tie up some more. I think I am going to see what I can do to try to reinforce them better. I will be sure to send some your way.

Thinking about going on Sunday also. Not sure about the weather and waiting until the last minute to go. I will be using my blue skeeter pontoon. I will post the night before if I fish plan to fish that morning. If I go, I will be looking for you and I will need all the tips on catching big trout! Bill

Hey Scott, did SMUD give you the full results from the derby?? I tried their web site, but they don't have it posted yet. If you placed 10th with 6.3lbs, I'm curious to see what the others weighed in at.

[Scott V]

Nope, all I got was a check.

Scott, I can't find the results of the Smud Derby on the fish sniffer site, however I know it's not Geoff Roberts, he's the recreation guy at the Smud Park. Can you let us know where it is on there site.
Thanks

[Scott V]

I found the results on a paper copy of the Fish Sniffer, I have no idea where it is on the site. And what I saw only showed who won 1st place it didn't show the rest of the places. I will look through the Sniffer again tonight and see if I can find any other results.

That info was not listed, even though they ask you what you caught your fish on when you weight in your fish.
