No underwater cameras will be permitted. The contestant must hook and play his own salmon in a sportsmanlike manner, unaided by any other person, except that a contestant may receive assistance in gaffing or netting. Any contestant interfering with another contestant by running over or crossing the line while the latter is catching a fish is subject to disqualification. All contestants are limited to one prize for salmon caught, regardless or the number of salmon entered, except for bonus prizes as determined by the derby committee. In addition to the above prize list, there will be more prizes donated by local merchants.
All derby tickets sold are eligible for the drawing.
In the event of a tie as to weight, the first salmon weighed in will be given the priority, and the second entry will be considered in line for the next prize. The decisions by the judges and Wrangell King Salmon Derby Committee in all cases will be final, and only salmon caught in accordance with the above rules will be accepted and entered in the Wrangell King Salmon Derby.
