The Don Pedro Kokanee Derby on May 20 proved to be a success with a total of 122 adults and 10 juniors participating in the event, according to Johnson. "I think the biggest problem for the anglers was that they were going too fast. The magic number is 1.2 miles an hour," said Johnson.

Anglers were trolling in 45 to 65 feet near Jenkins Hill, Fleming Bay, Ramos Creek, Hatch Creek, Willow Creek, the Northwest and Southeast corners of the Middle Bay, and Rock Island in the Middle Bay. "Vance's dodgers, Shasta Tackle Co. sling blades in precious metal, and Uncle Larry's spinners brought in the most fish," according to Johnson.

The top 5 winners of the adult division include Mario Lopez, who won first place with his 22.8 ounce, 15-1/2 inch kokanee that he caught using his own Marni bug. Rick Fried took second place with his 22.2 ounce, 15 inch kokanee. Jim Smith got third place with his 21.8 ounce, 15-3/4 inch kokanee. Jody Stover took fourth with her 20 ounce, 14 inch kokanee. And Jaysen McDaniels took fifth place with his 19 ounce, 14-7/8 inch kokanee.

The top five winners of the juniors division include Matt Dodd who took first place with his 15.3 ounce, 13 inch kokanee. Garrett Phillips won second place win his 14.6 kokanee. Kayla Carey took third place with her 14.3 ounce, 13-1/4 inch kokanee. Sal Fernandez got fourth with his 14 ounce, 13 inch kokanee. And Ben Cauwels took fifth with his 13 ounce, 12-3/4 inch kokanee.
