King Salmon derbies have been associated with the Mat-Su Valley for many years. This year the King Salmon Derby is being hosted by the Public Safety Employees Association.  This will be one of the most exciting King Salmon derbies in recent history.  Every King Salmon weighed in will be entered to win cash and prizes.  The derby isn't just for the biggest fish anymore.  Remember to weigh in every King Salmon you catch, regardless of size or weight.  You will receive one ticket entry for every ten pounds your fish weighs.  
 
If you are a family you only need to purchase one ticket for your household.  Individuals on the Family Ticket will have their fish entered in as individuals as well as a unique Family class.  The combined weight of the fish entered on your Family ticket will compete with other Family ticket holders for special cash and prizes.

For details and rules plus a list of the prizes, visit www.pseakingderby.com.
