The organizers of the Grand River Bass Derby are still hoping to be able to hold an event in 2021. We fully expect that the Covid-19 pandemic will still be a major health and safety issue in July and the provincial health guidelines, just as in 2020, will present too many challenges for us to hold a big "gala" awards ceremony as in the past but that shouldn't stop participants from enjoying a fishing outing on the Grand. The safety of participants, volunteers and organizers is our priority so we'll continue assessing what's possible (and what's not). More details will follow. Details hope we . --- better for us all to stay on "break" until we can all enjoy the experience together.
No matter what happens with this derby, and others, we encourage everyone to safely enjoy fishing this summer and look forward to seeing you all for a big gala Grand River Bass Derby in 2022!
These details are with respect to the 2019 Derby.
