Bad news about the Wenatchee Salmon Derby that was going to happen this coming weekend.

Due to in-season updates, regulatory changes, and low catch rates interest in this year's derby has significantly declined. After careful consideration, and in fairness to our participants, sponsors, and the fishing community, we’ve made the difficult decision to cancel this year’s derby.
