Some common sense requirements to follow during the 2021 Trout Season at the Souderton Harleysville Game Fish and Forestry Association, Inc.
The Fly Fisher’s Code of Ethics
1). Obey all laws and regulations, and report violations.
2). Release fish carefully and quickly.
3). Be considerate of private and public property.
4). Set a good example for and help others who are not as experienced as you are.
5). Rotate the pool and /or positions, so others may have an opportunity to fish, especially during a hatch.
6). Respect the area in which someone is fishing. Do not intrude or crowd other anglers.
7). Assist another angler who has hooked a fish, including reeling in your line if appropriate.
8). Keep our waters and surrounding property free from trash and litter.
9). Wade carefully and do not disturb water unnecessarily.
10). Treat others as you would want them to treat you.
This applies to all types of fishing, not just fly fishing.

Rifle Range
There is a new sign-in station and 24 hour camera surveillance due to past abuse and destruction of the range.
There was an incident in the past on the range where someone was handling a firearm while people were down range changing out targets. This is absolutely unacceptable. No firearms are to be handled, even to case or uncase, while anyone is down range. You will lose your membership.
The 200 yard pit is for authorized personnel only and not open to the general membership.
