The Big "80" Trout Derby at Buckeye Lake

Posted by Staff on April 30, 2024 - 6:00am

By Paula Pyzik Scott

The Bluffton Sportsmen’s Club will hold the 2024 Trout Derby on Sunday, May 5 at Buckeye Lake, accessible from Main St., Snyder Rd. and Spring St. The club member who catches Trout No. 1 on Derby Day between 2:00-4:00 p.m. will receive ½ of the jackpot plus $1,000. The prize is redeemable through the Sportsmen’s Club.

This is the 80th annual trout derby. The club notes that the date is calculated by "talking with a few old timers and past records" which indicate the first derby was held in 1944.

Last year, the jackpot was worth $2,700 and half went to winning ticket holder Patty Carpenter. Trout No. 1 was not caught during the 2023 derby.

This year there will be over $4,000 in cash and prizes available on tagged trout also in the quarry. The Trout Derby booklet enumerates the prizes associated with all 217 tagged trout and the businesses and individuals that support the derby. It also lists all of the rules and regulations for the derby and fishing in the quarries.
