2021 Trout (& Salmon) Winners

“We had a pretty good turnout this year,” shared event organizers of the 2021 Koocanusa Resort & Marina Trout & Salmon Derby. “One hundred boats and 277 people. The trout were good-sized this year, as well. Thought the salmon are very deep right now, so it seemed the only salmon that were biting were the small ones on top of the water.”
