What a great Derby we had. Such a great turn out with everything going on with the covid -19. We would like to say thank you to everyone who came out to support us. We had 277 contestants and 100 boats. We did get to have the award ceremony and door prizes this year and we ended up with some pretty cool door prizes.  The rainbow trout this year were so about the same size as last year, winning fish this year was 10lb 4 oz. The kokanee were smaller this year than last year, they were running between 6 to 7 inches  long. As the summer progressed the kokanee did get bigger they are running between 9 – 12 inches long.  It seem like we either have big rainbow trout and small kokanee or small rainbow trout and big kokanee take your pick.
This is one of the most exciting events we do here at Koocanusa Resort and Marina. We all look forward to this every year. It is a lot of work but so worth it in the end. Getting to see all our amazing customers year after year and the new customers that came for the first time it’s just such an exciting time. Thank you very much for the years of helping make this derby the success it has always been. Every year we seem to see a lot of new and many of the former contestants.

We appreciate every one of you so much.


The Derby will be May 14th & 15th, 2022
Thank you to everyone that took the time out of their weekend and came to enjoy the Derby with us.
