Latest Updates

 

A huge thank you to all the sponsors for making another KTD  a success. Congrats to all the Big Trout winners and all the participants to help make this another great weekend of fishing. We can't wait to see you all next year.
 
For the upcoming 2027 year
KITTANNING TROUT DERBY IS PLANNING TO MOVE TO THE THIRD WEEK OF MAY, NEXT YEAR, 2027.
 
Join us May 15 and 16, 2027 for the Annual Kittanning Trout  Derby!
 
By changing the dates from our usual mid-April dates, it will afford us better weather, along with avoiding two other area tournaments and allow us to avoid the derby falling on Easter weekend every few years.
 
We look forward to seeing everyone next year and wanted everyone to know about the planned change, so that everyone knows what's going on.
