Please check leader board. If your fish is not a contender for one of the Top 3 Spots, please do not bring in for an official weigh-in to help minimize the numbers of people at weigh-in. For your convenience, Valdez Fish Derbies has put a few fish weighing scales near the cleaning tables on the docks. Leaders will be posted on whiteboards at weigh-in station and by Cleaning Tables by Harbormasters Winners will be posted on whiteboards and the top 3 winners will be posted on www.valdezfishderbies.com website shortly after weigh-in closes at 8pm.

    2017 VALDEZ WOMEN’S SILVER SALMON DERBY VIDEO

    Women’s Fish Derby History

    In 2005, derby clerk Angela Corcoran, came up with the idea of doing a fishing event for women. Corcoran and the Valdez Fish Derby Committee invited Fish Alaska Magazine’s publisher Melissa Norris to be keynote speaker and were pleasantly surprised when 372 women showed up for the registration event at Prospector Outfitters sporting goods. The opening event quickly outgrew the original venue and filled the Valdez Civic Center ballrooms to capacity with 707 registrants in 2010.

    In 2009, the Valdez Fish Derbies weigh-in station weighed in more than 1,000 silvers on the Women’s Silver Derby day. The event has turned into much more than a day of fishing with an opening ceremony featuring music, Fish Olympic Games, Door Prizes, A Bachelor Filet-A-Fish Auction to benefit cancer survivors and the infamous Fox River Sock Toss. Lots of local businesses and big name sponsors like: The North Face; Carhartt; Dansko; Merrell; XtraTuffs; Camelbak; Columbia; SmartWool; Haiku; Chuckar Cherries; Grundens; Ugg; Muck Boots; Helly Hansen; Native Eyewear; Smith Sunglasses; Shakespeare; Adventure Medical Kits; Blue Fox; Gamakatsu; Woolrich; SuperFeet; Therma-Rest; Timberland; Life Is Good; Pendleton and Teva provide prizes for the event.

    General Information

    A fishing derby just for women?!?
    That’s right. The Women’s Silver Salmon Derby has been going on for 15 years and running. It is the ONLY women’s fish derby in Alaska. You can read more about the Women’s Fishing Derby History here.

    Women’s Derby Events are ONLY Open to WOMEN with a 2020 DOG TAG. We are excited that an unlimited number of women can enter the salmon fishing part of the event. Unfortunately, we have limited space at the Civic Center for the events. ADMITTANCE IS NOT GUARANTEED DUE TO SPACE CONSTRAINTS.
