PITTSFORD, N.Y. — This weekend’s trout fishing derby at Powder Mills Park in Pittsford is now rescheduled.
The tournament, originally set for this Saturday, will now happen Saturday, April 18.
Organizers say this week’s rainfall has led to flooding, meaning unsafe conditions and in-accessibility for stocking and fishing.
This is a look at the conditions at the park Wednesday:
