Three fishermen take to the rocks at high tide for the first day of the Spring King Salmon Derby on Thursday. The month-long derby is a fundraiser for the Alumni Scholarship Assistance Program of the Central Council Tlingit and Haida Indian Tribes of Alaska.

Spring time is here again and that means one thing to true-blooded Alaskans: It's time to fish!

Any person who has not been disqualified from participating in a previous derbies may participate in the 2008 Spring King Salmon Derby. Participation occurs when an entry ticket is purchased and validated, as provided in the following rules:

Fishing is every man's sport. The joy is in the outdoors, the chase, the quarry-all simple pleasures.
