DYP sign up
Posted: Mon May 02, 2022 9:54 pm
Well, I'm still waiting for the official word, but I can't wait any longer. I am going to open up the sign ups for the DYP. The date is May 21st with a rain date of May 22nd. It would be great if we could field at least 10 teams, so spread the word and let's make this a great DYP! Please sign up by clicking "Home" above: and then clicking on "derbies" and then "Draw Your Partner Derby". You will find the sign up sheet at the bottom of the page. If you have any problems signing up, please post your concerns or send me a PM. I am planning to draw the teams on or around or May 12st.
For those that are not familiar with the DYP, I will explain. DYP stands for Draw Your Partner. You can sign up with or without a boat. The names of those signing up without a boat go in one hat, and the names of those signing up with a boat go in a different hat. One name at a time is drawn from each hat and those two people are paired up as a team. You can launch from anywhere on Lake Champlain in the AM, but you must be at the Converse Bay launch by 2:00 to weigh in your fish. The heaviest salmon wins. In the event of a tie, the longer fish will win. If they both are the same length, the first fish weighed in will be the winning team. The winning team gets a plaque and an engraved name tag will be made and be mounted on the plaque. Each team member will receive a plaque to hold until the next DYP. There will be a barbecue at the Converse Bay launch after the derby. If you plan to stay for the barbecue, please bring something to share with the group.
