I was wondering do you have to be from chambersburg to participate in derby? I am from south of Pittsburgh.
No – we have participants from Florida to Maine and as far west as California
could you send me some registrations forms in the mail please.. there is about ten of us thats coming down this year ..my address is 78 showers road clarion pa 16214 thanks dave
You can now print them off the front page of the web site
Can you order tickets through the mail for the 2011 trout derby?
Yes – registration forms are now available to download – http://troutderby.com
what is the address i send the registration in to?
It’s on page 2 of the registration form:
Trout Derby
P.O Box 586
Chambersburg, PA 17201
its not on the registration form
The website says the pre-registration fee is $15.00 and the regular registration is $23.00. However, on your registration form, it says it is $20.00 for early bird registration, and $30.00 for the regular registration fee. Judging by the typo’s where the dates are on the website, it looks like you just updated it and missed the fee increase. I just wanted to make sure I send the correct payment amount in. Is there a limit on how many raffle tickets each person can buy?
Adult entry fees were raised this year. The correct price is $20 early and $30 regular registration.
You may purchase as many raffle tickets as you would like. there is now a form available for download that is extra raffle tickets only.

is there the 5 a day trout limit for these two days….or do you just catch as many you can??
Yes, 5 per day
When does pre-registration end? The 2011 Trout Derby Rule & Regulations state April 21, but the registration form itself states April 15th. Which is correct?
The registration form always takes precedence. 4/15 is the cutoff.
Wondering if there’s a link for streamflow of creek

Your web site states if posted marked by the 21st its only $20, but the registration form says the 15th. I thought I had until the 21st, do I? Also, where do you get your fish from? Any Blue Trouts being stocked?
Can you catch and release?
Sure – but if you have a tagged trout you want to cash in the fish and tag must be intact.
Can we register someone if they arent able to be there at last minute time to register or do they have to be there to be signed up?
What do the tags look like, and where on the fish would they be?
I don’t have a photo of our tags but they look something like this

We purchase different colors each year.
They are typically tagged in the dorsal fin – you’ll know it if you catch one.
I have never entered in this before and was going to this year. I was told that even though you mail in your registration form that you still have to come friday evening by 8pm in person to register and provide id…is that true?
early registrants have their info mailed out. These have already gone to the printing and mail house so everything from this point on will need to be picked up Friday evening or early Saturday morning.
U have until 6am saturday to register by right? Can u fish saturday all day and night till sunday 4pm and it counts?
Just for your fyi, there were people fishing before it even started, and I mean way before.yea I know it’s sad, but that don’t make the honest people to happy
