2010 DERBY
Aug 14^th - 22^nd

In late summer each year, Resurrection Bay fills with tens of thousands of Silver Salmon and the city of Seward and the Conference and Visitors Bureau prepare for the Silver Salmon Derby held in August.

One of the oldest and largest fishing derbies in the State, Seward’s Derby is equally popular with locals, other Alaska residents, and visiting anglers from around the nation and world. 

Entrants simply purchase a daily or season Derby ticket, and may enter their fish caught from shore or from a boat. For anglers with a boat, Seward provides two boat launch areas located at the harbor. For our boat-less visitors, try one of the dozens of professional charter services available for hire for half day or full day excursions.
