The traditional Rainbow Days Trout Festival in the Bishop City Park returns this year for season opener. The Bishop Chamber of Commerce has teamed up with The Bishop Lions Club and Western Outdoor News to bring back this beloved event that celebrates the kickoff of the Eastern Sierra trout season every year.

On April 30, anglers can register and display fish during the Trout Display competition from 2 – 6:30p.m. Prizes will be awarded at 7 p.m. Everyone who displays fish will receive one ticket to the huge raffle. Prizes will include rod and reel combos, tackle and gear, apparel, gift certificates and much, much more!

Live music, demonstrations, information booths and kids activities will round out the day.  “Just for fun” prizes will be awarded for farthest travel, biggest, ugliest and most beautiful fish.

Registration for the trout display is free, just bring your opening day catch to the city park to show off and win!
