In 2004 CRAA held its first Spring Steelhead derby. We had a handful of participants and some prizes that were donated and we were able to raise a few hundred dollars for the club. The tournament has been run annually ever since as a fund raiser and fun event for members. In 2009 and 2010, CRAA expanded the tournament and has been able to raise over $2000 each year.

CRAA Steelhead Tournament 2013
The format of the tournament is a catch and release style event where anglers catch steelhead, measure them, photograph them and then release them back to the river. At the end of the day, the three longest fish (tip to tail) will win prizes. First place is a full day guided pontoon trip on a local river. What is great about this event is that it's set up in a fashion where experienced anglers are paired with inexperienced anglers so it allows for everyone that enters to have a fair and equal shot at winning the tournament. If you are new to fishing, new to the Credit River or just want to learn about Steelhead, then this is a great opportunity for you to get a guided day on the river from an experienced angler and a chance to win great prizes. Not only that, but you can meet some really great people who care about the river and find out how you can help. Teams of two (one experienced and one amateur) will be randomly selected prior to the event. CRAA event tape measures will be handed out for the event.
