thats too bad that some one would stoop that low just to win a tourney..and man them are some dang nice perch.
I heard the same thing happened with the Perch Derby on Canyon Ferry Last year and they cancelled the event all together. I haven't heard if they are planning on renewing it this year or not. If you cheating on a fishing derby your not enjoying fishing for what it is.
Please clarify what you are saying in this post! I agree that there is no room for cheating in ANY aspect of life and that as honest sportsman constantly under the "public microscope" anyways, we need to police each other to help keep what we love as pure as possible! I can tell you for a fact that the Townsend Lions Club/Silos Perch Derby at Canyon Ferry last year was not cancelled. It was indeed a huge success and even with very difficult recent fishing there was a great turnout. I can also tell you for a fact that there was, to my knowledge, NO cheating and because of the 4th man "spotter" rule it would be impossible! Furthermore it is indeed scheduled to be held again this year on the weekend of Jan. 22nd and 23rd and my team and I hope to win it once again "Fair and Square" like we did last year! Good luck on the Perch Assault in 2011 and thanks to all involved for the hard work of putting on a tourney for us to enjoy!! As for the public humiliation? As nice as it would be, how many guys do you know that have had a DUI? We dont post their pictures in the bars and keep them out... just my .02
