The 2012 prize structure was settled and is posted on the Chantry site:

Chantry Derby

Well, we thought we had it settled, but about 2 weeks ago we were informed by LHFC executive member Mike Hahn that Walker Downriggers wished to establish a new prize for the largest Rainbow.

As it now stands they will be putting up a package in excess of $2500: 2 Walker Electric Downriggers; 2 large planer boards; 4 rods and reels, and a package consisting of Mini-Boards, baits, Deeper Divers and Trip Z Divers.

This is for Rainbow only. We'll probably see a Laker or Brown take the top Trout cash prize of $6000 again, but 'Bows have taken it in the past. If that's the case the winner could scoop both prizes.

On behalf of the other committee members I thank Walker Downriggers Inc., Mike and Darryl Choronzey. Apparently Darryl was instrumental in making this happen.

Our web master is on vacation so this is not on the site yet. If new developments arise I'll keep you posted.
