Spring Break Trout Derby in Medford

On Saturday, the Medford-based International Trouters Society will hold it's 5th annual Spring Break Derby at Takelma Park near the southwest corner of Lost Creek Dam.

The free derby is open to kids 16 years old and younger. The goal is to catch a trout over 16 inches in length. The Grand Prize winner — the first registered under-16 angler to catch a trout over 16 inches — will get his or her choice of prizes. Prizes will be awarded for other categories as well.

Registration is required and participants can sign in between 8:30 am to noon on Saturday. Fishing begins at 9 am and runs to 4 pm.

The regular fishing rules, limits and licenses apply. Anglers aged 13 and younger can fish for free. A $6.75 juvenile license is required for anglers 14-17 years old.

For more information call 245-0568.

The daily trout limit at Lost Creek Lake remains five trout at least 8 inches long, but only one of those can be more than 20 inches long.
