About the derby

Two RiversHeroes Derby

Two Rivers is honoring heroes with the Sasq’ets Classic: Heroes on the Water fishing derby.

You’ll fish for trout and walleye and help a cause close to home. Part of the proceeds goes toward helping people affected by the Spokane wildfires. It’s a day on the water that also gives back to folks in our community who need the support.

Heroes fish for free
  • Veterans
  • First responders
  • Elders of the tribe
