A trout named “Guppy” with a tag number 1 roams at large today in the Buckeye quarry.
Named after long-time Bluffton Community Sportmen’s Club member Ron “Guppy” Montgomery, tag 1 was not caught at Sunday’s 72nd annual trout derby.
The 50/50 drawing value at the close of the derby was $2,030. Since number 1 was not caught, the Sportmen’s Club claimed one-half of the drawing. The Icon is not aware of the winner of the other half at press time.
This year’s derby had an unexpected rain shower mid-way through the fishing. Below are some Icon photos of this year’s derby.
