 This is Barrett McCombie with the Valdez Fishing Report. This Saturday is the start of the Valdez Silver Salmon Derby. Anglers of all ages wanting a chance to catch the largest silver salmon in Valdez and take home the $10,000 Valdez Fish Derby's first place prize can buy a derby ticket, get a line wet, and give it a try. Bonnie Woods of Valdez said she caught several silver salmon while fishing for halibut out in Patton Bay earlier this week. The Silver Salmon Derby's second place prize is $3,000 cash, and the third place prize is $1,500 cash.
