It's my pleasure to moderate the California kokanee forum. Some of you may already know me, but for those who don't, here's some background. My name is Mark Damron and I currently live in Georgetown just east of Auburn. I have been fishing the lakes, rivers & streams of northern California for over 40 years now. The last 15 or so years my obsession has been kokanee. The waters I fish the most are, Union Valley (UVR), Pardee (I know the fish are small, don't laugh), New Melones, Berryessa, Stampede & Bullards Bar (when we have kokes!)
If anybody has any questions about these waters or any other, I'd be more than glad to help.
I enjoy fishing most of the kokanee derbies/tournaments put on by both CIFFI /Project Kokanee & Kokanee Power that help support our kokanee fishery.
I'm a Lifetime member & supporter of CIFFI/Project Kokanee and also a proud member of Kokanee Power.
I look forward to helping out here on the California Kokanee forum and I hope to see & meet some you out on the water. Should'nt be too much longer. Let the fun begin!!!
Mark
