QUINCY — Anglers of all ages are being invited to drop a line in Quincy Lake and Burke Lake Saturday and Sunday in pursuit of trout and prizes. The 14th Trout Fishing Derby begins Saturday morning.
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.
