Theme: Fishing Trips
If you would rather fish for
pink salmon instead of panning for gold on Resurrection Creek, the Pink Salmon Fishing Derby runs from July 15 to August 15 (the pictures were taken 3 Aug 07). There is no entry fee and first prize is one ounce of gold! There are twelve prizes in all, presented by BJW Mining & Gifts and Hope Fishing Charters. It's the perfect place to take your family. At the mouth of the creek (north) you are close to food, lodging, gift shops and the mining museum. At the southern boundary of the Derby, you are in the recreational gold mining area, where you can pan, sluice or metal detect for free. Please remember that you must register at BJW Mining & Gifts. For more information, please call (907) 782-3268.
