Neshannock Creek Fly Shop Pre-Season Trout Stocking

Pre-Season Trout Stocking

On Saturday March 3rd, 2007 we celebrated the Pre-Season Trout Stocking!!!

Photos from the day have been added to the Trout Stocking Photo Gallery.

Many people took opportunity to visit the shop and take in all the festive splendor as the town of Volant kicks up its heels this time each year. We're only five miles from the Prime Outlet Mall in Grove City, PA so many came early, brought the family, and made a day of it. The town had activities happening throughout the entire day including the Annual Volunteer Firefighter's ALL YOU CAN EAT Sausage and Pancake Breakfast. The local Amish community was selling hand-made crafts, baked goods, kettle cooked donuts, and kettle pop corn. The Volant merchants had the red carpet layed out!

A lot of fishermen bought their 2007 PA fishing license, pre-season fishing supplies, and entered our raffle for a Winston rod (see details at bottom of page).

The PA Fish Commission stocked the waters of Neshannock Creek at approximately 1:00 PM. The Neshannock Creek Fly Shop also stocked the Lunker Trout the following Saturday (Saturday March 10).

The Lunker Trout consist of large trout anywhere from 16 inches to 8 pounds.

This is always an event that kids are excited to see, so many made sure to bring them along. Kids are not only encouraged to watch, but are more than welcome to participate in the actual stocking. Fly Fishing is a great sport for youngsters. Each June, the shop hosts the Young Anglers Fly Fishing School. This is a terrific way to introduce youngsters to the fabulous sport of fly fishing. It's also a great opportunity for the young novice to improve their skills.

On the day of the pre-season stocking, attendees entered our annual rod raffle. The winner was drawn the following week during Neshannock Creek Fly Shop's Lunker Trout Stocking. Tickets were ONLY $5 or 3 tickets for $10. The rod was a premium Winston rod. Tickets could be purchased up to the moment of the drawing on Saturday March 10. All proceeds from the raffle are donated to buy the Lunker fish that are stocked that day. The more tickets bought, the more fish we have for everyone. Help keep Neshannock Creek one of the premier trout streams in Western Pennsylvania!

(We raffled off a Winston Ascent rod, however the raffle winner had choices of Winston Ascent rods.)
