Chinook Showdown 4/9

Definitely going. Has anyone found the waiver they talk about? I am not planning on fishing at Sellwood and hoping to get that turned in before the event.

The waiver (or link to it) should be with your sign-up confirmation email. I'm trying to get a stand alone link to post up here in case anyone lost or deleted their confirmation.

i cannot remember if i submitted my waiver or where my email is.  Any luck finding the stand alone link to the waiver?  If not could someone send it to me?

PDF of Liability waiver.
See you all out there.

Thank you for posting that up. Much appreciated.

What kind of prizes will be given away for big fish? I didnt see any hints or details on the NA webpage. Are we talking cash? Or gear? Or new Hobie kayak?

I was wondering the same. Unfortunately I can't make it anyway nor am I able to reliably catch salmon, but I certainly could've been swayed to disregard prior obligations had I known what the prizes are/were.

Hey everyone, my name is Ian and I’ll be helping to run the part of the Chinook Showdown at Sellwood Park. If you’ve already signed up, paid your entry fee, and submitted your waiver, there’s no need to find me in the morning. Feel free to fish wherever it’s legal to do so. If you haven’t done one of those things, you’ll need to find me at Sellwood. I’ll be there around 6am. I’ll be in a white Subaru Forester with a Next Adventure banner stuck to it somehow. I’ll also have a white-ish hobie outback rigged for fishing next to it. I should be pretty obvious. At 8am I will be out on the water fishing myself. You can call me on channel 68 and meet me somewhere on the water. I wear a red drysuit. I'll have some waivers, pens, and a bag for your entry fee. Please pay in exact change since I don’t plan to have any spare change with me. Keep in mind the weigh in runs from 12 to 3pm at the Next Adventure Paddle Sports Center (624 SE 7th Ave, Portland, OR, 97214).

The prizes are going to be gift certificates, fishing gear, that kind of thing. No new hobies this time!

Thanks for the update Ian!

Mark

Who won?!?

Who won?!?

Mark A. won everything with a 7.6 pound fish! Easy decision since that was the only fish returned. I'll write up a full report in the next couple days that'll be on the next adventure website in the near-ish future.

I just wanted to thank everyone who came out to fish. It wasn't red hot, but at least Mark was able to boat a fish and took home a nice Next Adventure gift certificate. Thanks for supporting your local Heroes On the Water chapter.
And thanks to Next Adventure for hosting the tourney and providing the killer tacos!
