Registration is $35 for adults 18 years of age and older; children are admitted free.
The derby is sponsored by the Quincy Valley Chamber of Commerce, and chamber executive director Cari Mathews said the 2022 trout derby drew 165 participants.
Registration is available Friday at the Chamber office, 115 F St. SW; Quincy Hardware and Lumber, 23 E St. SE; Hooked on Toys, 1444 N.
