Tessier notes the derby's switching from using tags to flags for anglers - similar to the Wawa derby - with information available during registration.

Rather than an in-person event, the prize ceremony will be livestreamed like last year.

Fishing on the Chapleau River - including Mulligan's Bay - runs from 7 am to 4 pm tomorrow, with JJAM FM broadcasting live updates from 11 am to 4 pm.
