The Derby
Registration
King of the Confluence runs separate divisions, each with its own prize pool funded by entry fees. A percentage of ticket sales goes directly to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place — so the more anglers that enter, the bigger the payout. Prizes are awarded separately for each species, meaning you can place in both chinook and steelhead.
Register online or in person at Hells Canyon Grand Hotel in Lewiston, ID. Both boat and shore fishing are permitted. A valid Idaho fishing license is required for all adult anglers.
