Rogue Steelheaders 2025 Annual Steelhead Derby & Auction

2025 Annual Steelhead Derby & Auction

DERBY DAY IS SATURDAY, MARCH 15, 2025

The details of how, when, and where to register as a participant in the Derby are spelled out in the 2025 Steelhead Derby Rules and Guidelines below.  Basically, you can download the entry and waiver forms and mail them together with your $100 entry fee check (or pay by PayPal).  Your check and completed forms must be received by the Steelheaders NO LATER than March 14, 2025.  Otherwise, you can sign up at Bradbury’s Gun N’ Tackle, 1809 Rogue River Hwy., between noon and 5:00 p.m., on Friday, March 14, 2025, OR at the Josephine County Fairgrounds at 5:00 a.m., on the morning of Derby Day.  In any case, you or one of your party will have to show up either at Bradbury’s on Friday, March 14, 2024, or at the Fairgrounds on Saturday, March 15, 2025 to get the measuring board – one per boat.

NOTE:  Rogue River Steelheader Derby t-shirts and hats will be available for purchase at Bradbury’s during the March 14th registration and will also be available for purchase at the Josephine County Fairgrounds on March 15, 2025

 

Because the club is encouraging catch and release, winning fishes will be determined by photos taken of the fish on the measuring board.  To be eligible for the prize competition, you must check in at the measuring station at the Fairgrounds to turn in the measuring board and present the photo of your fish no later than 3:00 p.m., on March 15, 2025.  Then, settle in for the barbecue and the raffle/auction of some amazing stuff. The barbecue and the raffle/auction will start at 1:30 p.m. Guests not participating in the Derby may eat at the barbecue for $5.00 per person and are welcome to participate in both the Saturday Auction and Raffles!

ONLINE AUCTION

All of this will be preceded by an online auction with a really stunning array of merchandise, ranging from a fully equipped Willie drift boat to gift certificates for a wide variety of items. 

THE AUCTION OPENS AT 9 AM ON SATURDAY, MARCH 1, 2025 THROUGH 9 PM, MARCH 12, 2025.
