After a one-year absence the Bluffton Sportsmen's Club bring back its first-Sunday-in-May trout derby. Here Mike Falk and Tom Augsburger tag one of the 250 tagged trout in the derby. Fishing is now closed in the Buckeye until 2 p.m. on Sunday, May 2. Sportsmen's Club memberships will be on sale at the derby and in advance at The Dough Hook.
The Village of Bluffton will celebrate the event on Saturday, May 1, at 3 p.m. with the planting of three conifer trees at the south end of the soccer fields at the village park, according to Jon Sommer of the Bluffton Tree Commission.
“All are invited to participate in this event, keeping in mind social distancing,” he said.
“You are also encouraged to plant a tree of your own leading up to or on Arbor Day.

Bluffton's 77th trout derby is May 2. Here's glance at a much earlier derby. We're guessing it's the early to mid-1950s. We base that upon the boy on the bottom left – thinking that's David Little (1959 BHS grad).
Of course, that's Arden Baker standing at the microphone and by the looks of things the happy person next to him, who we do not know, appears to be hold a very large pickerel, which was stocked in the quarry during this era.
