We want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to all our incredible sponsors for making the First Annual Barry Reicker Memorial Fishing Derby possible. Your generous donations and support have provided us with amazing prizes and helped ensure a successful event in honor of Barry.
Your contributions not only enhance the derby experience but also support the vital work of the Belleisle Watershed Coalition. Together, we’re making a difference in our community and preserving our beautiful watershed for future generations.
This will be a catch and release tournament. We’ll be asking for a picture, with a clear and proper measurement (across their side, tip of the lips to tip of a folded in tail, if with a tape measure). Bump boards are always best, and most accurate, but not required. All registered anglers will also receive a “custom 3-D printed coin” to be included with all pics, to ensure all fish are actually caught on derby day. You can then send an email or Facebook message with your pics and code to the Watershed, and follow the live leader board. Please be sure to follow and like the Belleisle Watershed Coalition Facebook Page Here, prior to Derby day so you can easily access and message the leaderboard team from your Facebook messenger app. In the event of poor cellphone signal there will be two catch reporting stations located at the dike and at the Wharf.
Please check your email (and spam folder) for a final email message from the Derby Organizers about tomorrow morning!
If you have not done so, please send your $25 registration e-transfer to belleislewatershed@gmail.com
Proceeds from this event directly supported the Belleisle Watershed 2024 Adventure Camp which is operated by Belleisle Watershed Coalition and the Boys and Girls Club of Saint John
