NOTICE - New Additional Club fishing rules

NEW CLUB RULES FOR FISHING 2019 
 
   To all Club members:   During the past two trout fishing seasons, we have found a number of dead trout in our stream and ponds. For this reason, we will be adding a few new Club rules, they are as follows;   1. Recommendation to use barbless hooks or pinch the existing barbs down.
 
2. Anyone using live bait or power bait must keep the fish they catch; no catch and release allowed.
 
3. If you plan to catch and release, barbless hooks are required and/ or pinch the existing barbs down. Barbs must also be pinched on all flies if you plan to release. Please use common sense and care when catch and releasing.
 
4. Recommendation to move after five (5) catch and release in same area to allow for other members to fish a hot spot.
 
5. The maximum number of trout permitted on one stringer is five (5).
 
6. Our Club follows all state fishing and creel limits.
 
7. Please police our fish cleaning station. Remember, it is a privilege to have available and we must keep it clean, or it will be removed.
 
8. Kid’s day is exactly what it says; FOR KIDS ONLY. No adults fishing; they may assist in casting but that is all; child must reel in fish. Adults with no children near-by and a line in the water will be asked to leave promptly.

  Thank you, BOARD OF DIRECTORS

​

Reminder...the club follows all the state rules for fishing...you must display your fishing license and club membership card. No more than five (5) trout per person per day and ONLY five trout allowed on a stringer. This changes to 3 trout depending on the date.  Please be calm, safe and friendly to fellow club members. Please do not litter. Thank you and good luck!

NOTICE

Attention all members of the club. We must start following the club rules for our clubs protection and to avoid problems. ALL members are required to have their membership cards exposed so all members can identify them as fellow members. If you see anyone that does not have their membership card clearly visible, ask them for it. If they do not have a fishing license clearly visible.. ask them for it. If you see someone not obeying the rules of the club please say something to them and report it to the directors, if possible get their license number, make, model, and color of their car.  That means if someone is throwing rocks on the ice, not picking up after their dogs, leaving trash on the grounds, feeding the trout in the tanks (especially if it is corn) mishandling a firearm or handling a firearm when someone is down range, fishing without a license, taking more fish than allowed, etc. SAY SOMETHING and REPORT IT TO A DIRECTOR. This is your club and you must try to protect it. If you have questions ASK. If you see something that should be changed make a point of asking about it a membership meeting which are held the 3rd Tuesday of each month OR through a director.

​

IF YOU SEE SOMETHING - SAY SOMETHING
