In 2020, RRG&SA began working with DIF&W to construct a fishing derby for the Rangeley region that was aligned with their management plan. After a lot of work, we held a very successful derby in June of 2021, aimed at harvesting smaller landlocked salmon out of Mooselookmeguntic Lake. We were very pleased with the participant response (we sold out). DIF&W was able to be present and collect a tremendous amount of data from the catch. Indications are that we achieved our goals with a very light impact on other species and lake use.

For 2022, we're going to do it again. Our goals remain the same. We will make minor tweaks based on what we learned the first time around, ideally making this easier for our participants. Please review the rules and other information on this website for more information. Let's have fun out there!

Whether you are interested in entering the Derby, becoming a sponsor or helping as a volunteer you will find all the information you’ll need right here. If you can’t find an answer here you can email us at salmonderby@rangleyoutdoors.org.

If you are planning on entering the derby, we would suggest that you submit your entry forms ASAP. Due to the limited parking at the public boat launches on Mooselookmeguntic Lake we may have to limit the number of entrants. In 2021, the Derby filled up early and we had to close registration.

We also ask that all participants pay attention to the rules as the logistics for holding the event are and will be evolving right up until Derby weekend. Good luck to everyone!!!

A final note: In order to create an enjoyable and successful Derby for everyone involved we are asking for volunteers to assist us in many areas during this weekend event. If you are interested in volunteering for this exciting event, please contact us at salmonderby@rangleyoutdoors.org.

Sincerely,
The RRG&SA Salmon Derby Committee
