Downrite Drilling
Fishing Derby.
The Downrite Drilling Fishing Derby Downrite Drilling puts on an annual fishing derby
on the Chilliwack/Vedder river system.
This derby is open to all Geotechnical and Environmental company employees
that have included Downrite Drilling Ltd. in their projects.
Derby Fishing can be
done up-river from shore or in waders,
or in the lower canal
by trolling or casting from boats.
The 2004 Derby Results (Held on Saturday,
October 23) Fall of 2004 was an awful year for planned fishing.
You could not forcast (a good term for fishing), what the day would be
like. Fish came in good numbers, but nature came in bad extremes— for fishers,
the rain was too much and the tides were too high, for good fishing.
So I held-off on the Derby until there
was a possiblity of a decrease in rain and tides— and Holy Macrel,
the fishing gods cracked a smile. Saturday, October 23, was a patchy
day with only a little rain— and Downrite Derby-day became a happy
event for all.
This year's Contestents were:
Paul Hughes
Ross Corrigan
Tom Bryski
Brian Mylleville
Adrian Hanson
