Derby Rules

Failure to comply with derby rules will result in disqualification.

All participants agree to abide by the Idaho Fish & Game and Cd 'A Tribal rules & regulations. Any angler receiving a fishing citation while participating in the Big One Derby is automatically withdrawn as a derby entrant. All other fisherman in the boat are also disqualified.

​

All participants further agree to abide by the rules set forth by the Big One Derby committee. Any dispute(s) regarding eligibility or legality of fish or an angler will be decided by the derby committee and all decisions are final. A polygraph test may be required.

​

Every licensed Idaho angler in the boat must have a derby ticket. Participants must register themselves prior to fishing. The registration form must be signed by the angler and in the angler's possession when entering a fish into the derby.

​

Youths 13 years old and under must register themselves (at no cost) prior to fishing. Or, they may register as an adult and be eligible for adult prizes only.

 

Minimum age to register is 3 years old. Age groups are 3 - 6 years and 7 - 13 years old. Youth 14 and older must purchase an adult ticket.

A registered angler may enter two fish per day. Fish must be weighed the same day caught. All fish must be weighed in at one of the designated weigh stations.
