No losers
Published March 27, 2011 / by Steve Berentson
Salmon or not, no one loses when they choose to participate in the Anacortes Salmon Derby. A day on the water often yields views like this one looking toward Canada from the Cypress Island shoreline. Whether you catch a fish or not, the Fidalgo Chapter of the Puget Sound Anglers hosts a great party under the Big Top at Cap Sante Boat Haven. Sunday afternoon’s activities include food, top catch announcements and distribution of lots of prizes. In addition, the crowd gets to meet a few of the derby’s scholarship winners. Derby results will be posted when available.
About Steve Berentson
A fourth generation Skagit County native who was moved kicking and screaming from this island community in 1960. I finally reclaimed an Anacortes address in 1980, and I have been in constant celebration of my return since that time. Many of us who call Anacortes home love Fidalgo Island for its natural assets: among them are rugged beaches, pristine lakes, thousands of acres of forestland and some awesome views of the Skagit Valley and surrounding islands. Another element of my love affair with this community is its people, both natives and immigrants. They will “star” in many of my journal entries.
