I visited the Quincy Wildlife Area on Saturday to see how the annual Quincy Valley Chamber of Commerce Trout Derby was going. I saw one of the biggest crowds I had ever seen at Quincy and Burke lakes. There were all manner of motor homes, trailers, campers and tents set up everywhere. There were boats all over both of the lakes and people at most of shore accesses as well. I talked to several anglers, and they reported that the fishing on Friday was very good with lots of big rainbow landed. Fishing was slower on Saturday, but people were enjoying the day. It started out cloudy and chilly but warmed up and the skies cleared later in the day. Once again, the Quincy Chamber had amassed a huge number of prizes and thanks to a donation from the Quincy Valley Medical Center it looked like every child would get a rod and reel. The complete results of the Quincy Chamber Derby will be displayed on the Quincy Chamber Facebook page. While I was there, I checked on the boat ramp at the top end of Evergreen Reservoir. The water is up and a small boat had launched, but there was a lot of debris in the water. A recent wind had pushed it up against that shore.
