The first Sunday in May – for the past six decades in Bluffton that means the Bluffton Community Sportsmen’s Club trout derby at the Buckeye quarry.
This year’s derby following a time-honored tradition of naming tagged trout number one after a Bluffton icon – and this year’s fish “Big Glove” honors the Bluffton Peerless Ohio Glove Factory. If caught during derby hours, it’s worth – well, the pot keeps growing – lots.
In addition to tag number one there are 250 tagged trout with prizes. Those trout were tagged and released in the Buckeye on Tuesday.
