At the close of the 24th Annual Isabella Lake Fishing Derby on Sunday, April 21, Derby Committee Chairman and Kern River Valley Chamber of Commerce President, Fred Roach, in an unprecedented move, made the following announcement. "When the derby was first established, it was done with the intention of creating an event that would give back to the community. Although we had several tagged trout caught and brought into Derby Headquarters, this year, not a single tagged trout was caught valued at $10,000, and there are nine of them in the lake. Not only that, but the $20,000 trout sponsored by the Kern River Valley Chamber is still out in the lake also. The Derby committee has unanimously decided that in the interest of fairness and because of the fact that we want to give the money away for these fish, if anyone who is registered in the 2013 Isabella Lake Fishing Derby should catch any of the nine trout originally valued at $10,000, those nine are worth $1,000 to the angler. Should a registered fisherman catch the $20,000 trout, it will now be valued at $10,000!"

According to Derby officials, this bounty will be offered from April 23, 2013 and will expire on September 2, 2013. (Labor Day) The following chart shows the tag numbers of the eligible trout, their worth and those who sponsor them. Please read it carefully, and good luck!
