2020 Isabella Lake Fishing Derby Update and News
The 31st Annual Derby has been reschd for March 27 - 29, 2021.
The 2020 Derby has been cancelled due to the COVIN-19 Crisis in California.
The 31st Annual Isabella Lake Fishing Derby was shaping up to be a good time on April 4 - 6, 2020. Our first Trout are being delivered to the fish rearing pens at Red's Marina in November and will growing fast, They are fed three times a day by an all volunteer crew organized by Kern River Valley Chamber of Commerce and derby committee member Mark Chambers. Thank you everyone involved for all the hard work, these fish eat a lot and have to be fed rain or shine, sleet or sun, and it's getting cold out there! By the time these Trout are released right before the tournament they will all be fat and happy and ready to bite a line.
Tagged Trout are back as request for the past many years.
We will have 500 tagged trout which varies in range from $20 to $10,000. That is correct we will have a tagged trout worth $10,000 if you purchased the official derby T-Shirt,but if the t-shirt did not interest you that fish is still worth $5,000.
Do to the appreciation of the anglers, we are having the return of the three divisions this year Men, Women & Youth. The Men and Women Divisions will pay up to $1,000 for first place and the Youth Division will pay up to $1,000 for first place. Note first and second positions in all three divisions pay double if you purchse a t-shirt. Make sure and get yourself one of those 2020 / 2021 Derby T-Shirts, that's how you can catch that big one and get the largest prize money possible!
