Trout Fishing Derby at Litchfield Park

The City of Litchfield Park will be hosting our annual Trout Fishing Derby on Saturday, January 24, 2026 at Tierra Verde Lake. The lake will be stocked with 750 pounds of rainbow trout for the derby.

The derby is traditionally a fun family event. Age group trophies are awarded in various categories, including largest trout caught, smallest trout caught and heaviest trout caught. There will also be opportunities to win raffle prizes.

The event is “rain or shine” and runs from 7:30 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. A fee per space will be charged to each participant or group when registering online. You will not need a City of Litchfield Park fishing permit. Participants must bring their own poles and bait.
