Owego Hose Teams, Inc. in partnership with Tioga County Anglers and Trout Unlimited will host its 7th Annual Trout Derby on Saturday, April 11. The contest for anglers of all ages will be held virtually or by checking in at Croton Hose Co. #3 Fire Station on Talcott Street. Last year, 26 anglers participated in the event. Anglers 15 years old or younger continue to fish for free but must register, and $100 will be awarded for the largest brown and brook trout caught in the MAIN, EAST, and WEST branches of the Owego Creek.<\/p>\n

Registration forms for the Trout Derby will be available at the Community Shop, Scott Smith and Son, and online registration is available at the Hose Team website at www.OwegoHoseTeams.com<\/a>.  <\/span><\/p>\n
