BVFF has traditionally held the White Fish Derby, an annual event for many years. Last year (2021) a virtual derby replaced the in-person group event.
This year we will be holding both. The virtual derby is until the 17th. This is a standalone derby, that ends on 2/17/2023.
The in-person outing is defined at: https://www.bvff.com/event-5099950
