Wow! The 2019 Kokanee Power New Melones Team derby was huge success with 168 participants looking to have fun and some camaraderie at a renewed fishery. Thanks to everyone who came out to participate and as always all extra proceeds go back to the fishery and special causes. The big fish turned in were in the 2lb class, up to 2.37lbs. 17.94 was the longest fish and it was a solid 16+ inch average for the single largest fish of the 3 fish weigh-in from each team. Many of those 16 inch fish were actually heavier than the longer males just starting to get a kype (lengthened jaw) and they lose just a little weight. as they start to transition. Fish were generally caught in the 35-60 foot range and the South end of the lake was a popular location for many anglers.
Thank you CA DFW team and US Fish and Wildlife teams that came out to measure, weigh, take scale and pathology samples.
Here’s the list of winners with the payout extended to 20 places for adults based on our higher participation. The weights were very close, within hundredths of a pound! There were several ties, broken by largest single fish weight.
