- 14 total fish were caught:
- 5 - Coho Salmon
- 1 - King Salmon
- 3 - Steelhead Trout and
- 5 - Lake Trout
- 6 out of 13 boats ran out of time (e.g. did not land a fish).
- On Deck Circle 2 (Raul Babolea) won Biggest Fish with a 14.3 lbs Lake Trout
- Phish On (Mike Oseland) won Most Fish with 3 total fish (2 - Coho Salmon and 1 - Steelhead Trout)
- It was a tie between Jaws (Bill Strnad) & Phish On, both boats caught 3 fish and had 4 people fishing so the tie breaker was total weight, Phish On 10.46 lbs vs. Jaws 8.41 lbs)

Story of the Derby
One of the sailboats, Sea Glass, had a big King Salmon that got off when it wouldn’t fit in the net, lure got caught in the net and it unbuttoned . . . to be caught another day.

Despite difficult fishing conditions, and peeling cottonwood off lines, it was a gorgeous day on the lake and we all got to spend time together doing what we love.
Cheers to all the participants!
