Walter Hall Community Fishing Derby
Walter Hall Community Fishing Derby
The Walter Hall Community Fishing Derby is celebrating its 42nd year, a tradition that started in 1984 as the “Family Legion Fishing Derby.” Founded by Walter Hall, the event has evolved over the years, including a name change to “The Walter Hall Memorial Fishing Derby” in 2008 and later dropping “Memorial” from its title.
Prizes
This year, the Walter Hall Community Fishing Derby is set for Saturday June 20th, 2026, and we are changing our prizes up! We are putting our traditional cash prizes to new use, investing them in a wider array of amazing physical prizes that you will really want to reel in. Registration is a bargain at $20 for adults and $10 for youths, and you can sign up online or at the Legion bar on Fridays and Saturdays. We are focusing on freshwater trout and bass from Shawnigan Lake only – with prizes awarded with priority to those who weigh in a fish. And to fuel your fishing adventures, all ticket holders can enjoy a delicious lunch at the backyard BBQ. Join us for a fin-tastic day with your little ones on Father’s Day weekend!
