Human Powered Fishing Derby Featured in Alaska Coast Magazine

by Jenny Chissus
Tim and Ila Dillon have been organizing the Human Powered Fishing Derby for 5 years now, and it has become quite the annual event for Seldovians and visitors alike!

This Memorial Day weekend will be the 6th Annual Human Powered Fishing Derby in Seldovia, and if you think fishing is fun out in the big ocean in a big boat – you will be pleasantly surprised with the maneuvering and skill required when you fish from a kayak, or small boat – it is a whole new experience and almost a whole new sport!  Landing a big fish has a whole different meaning when it has the power to pull you out to sea, with only oars and strong arms to resist the fish’s fright and flight!

Memorial Day weekend is the opening of summer in Seldovia, and there is a lot going on this year! The Seldovia Arts Council is sponsoring a great concert on Saturday night, May 24th with the Hot Club of Nunaka, playing acoustic blues and swing!  Also, that Saturday, there’s an afternoon art class of  Zentangle  from 1:00pm – 4:00pm.    It is going to be a fun weekend in Seldovia.
