Big cash prizes await at the Canandaigua Lake derby

From 5 a.m. on June 6 to 5 p.m. on June 7, the Canandaigua Lake Trout Derby offers cash prizes in three trout categories, with a catch‑and‑release‑friendly leaderboard on Facebook to encourage conservation. Anglers need not catch a lake trout to win, as brown and rainbow trout are also eligible for prizes; first prize in each category is $100, followed by $100 for second and $50 for third. A new youth division for ages 16 and younger adds prizes and a lifetime sportsman’s license drawing sponsored by the Ryan Rector Youth Opportunity Foundation. Entry costs $30, and 250–300 participants typically compete.
