Put 'em Back Alive....
Increasing water temperatures throughout the summer fishing season are stressful on our trout population. Anglers practicing catch-and-release need to be mindful of proper revival techniques in order to ensure survival of those released fish.  The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission has published an excellent guide on the correct way to handle fish you plan to release. You can view the guide here.

As has been widely reported in various news outlets, Aquatic Nuisance Species (ANS) are invading waters and destroying fisheries nationwide. In an effort to keep ANS out of our lakes, please continue to disinfect your fishing equipment. This includes any boats brought onto the property from another body of water. The Staff will help you disinfect boats, as they require more effort than float tubes, waders, wading boots, etc. As soon you know when you will be bringing a boat to the club, please make arrangements with a member of the staff to help disinfect your boat. Almost all ANS are transferred by unsuspecting fishermen on boats or fishing equipment.
