It was a pretty good day for fishing. Just ask Robbert Tidd of Ada, or Elmer Noble of Lima, or Wyatt Matter of Bluffton, or Jeff Huff of McComb.
Turns out "Old Augie," named after Bluffton Sportsmen's Club president, Tom Augsburger, tagged trout number one, was snagged by Tidd. The Ada fisherman took home $1,157.50.
Huff of McComb won the 50-50 drawing and also took home $1,157.50. Noble didn't win cash, but took home bragging rights for catching the longest trout. It measured 20 1/2 inches.
Wyatt Matter didn't do too bad either. He was the first at the derby to catch the first trout limit of the day.
There were other winners.
