About the Derby

Years Ago

Hank & Chopper Westbrook founded the first Cal-Or Fishing Derby to raise funds for the enhancement of fisheries and streams within our area to that future generations would be able to enjoy clean rivers, great fishing and beautiful scenery for years to come. 

Derby Teams

The Derbies consisits of teams made up of four men and two guides. These teams are then divided up into an A team and a B team. On Friday the two man one guide A team will fish Oregons’s Chetco River, while the B team fishes on the Smith River. On Saturday, the teams switch to fish the opposite river.
