The timing couldn’t be better for the annual Quincy Chamber Trout Derby. It will be held on both Quincy and Burke lakes in the Quincy Wildlife Area, not far from the town of Quincy. The derby kicks off on Friday, March 27th at 6 a.m. The WDFW planned plant of 1,500 rainbow weighing an average of 1 pound was made in both Burke and Quincy lakes to help with success during the derby. The Quincy Chamber also arranges to have an additional plant of trout that may be even bigger to raise the anticipation of landing a whopper by derby participants. Registrations will be taken at the derby headquarters on Quincy Lake on Friday from 5 to 8 p.m. and on Saturday from 6 till 9 a.m. The cost is $40 for adults over the age of 18. Kids 17 and under are free, and up to four kids can fish with one registered adult. Something that always impressed me about the derby is their emphasis on the kids. They make sure that all the kids go home with some kind of prize. Please click on the Something Fishy in Quincy logo on my website for all the details.
