2022 Youth Fishing Derby
A few youngsters and there parents braved the unseasonal chilly temperatures to fish at the Grove City Sportsman's Club pond this year for the 16th annual fishing derby. It was a beautiful but chilly morning, but the fishing was fair, the food provided by the Grove City Sportsman was good and everyone had a good time. The Neshannock Chapter of Trout Unlimited and The Grove City Sportsman's Club have been doing this for 16 years now and are trying to think of ways to make it bigger and better for the kids.
Got any ideas, let us know...

Dr. Charles Thomas "Chuck" Moxley
On Tuesday September 21st we lost one of the good ones. Chuck Moxley (August 19, 1960 ~ September 21, 2021 (age 61) passed away. If you were one of the lucky ones to know and maybe to fish with him, you know he will truly be missed. He had donated much of his time and flies to the Neshannock Chapter and had helped raise the bank account of our chapter while helping to protect the sport he truly loved. Many Thanks Chuck...

Cabin FEVER 2020 Was a great success
It was another great Cabin Fever event this year with two informative speakers. Rodger Coup the Wildlife Management Supervisor from the PA Game Commission with his lecture on the great success the Bald Eagle has had in the last 30 years in Pennsylvania. And Dave Allbaugh from Wet Fly Waterguides talking about catching trout in Pennsylvania on wet flies. And then there was lunch. Carol Jockman and crew really out did them themselves again this year. It is an event by it's self. This event seems to be growing every year. We may have to start looking for a larger venue.
The weather cooperated and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves.

2019 Veterans Outing was a great SUCCESS
Our Veterans !
The first Veterans outing was a great success. In conjunction with the Oil Creek Chapter and Sandycreek Conservancy they hosted a wonderful event. (see photos in events/photo gallery above) More to come...
The annual Oil Creek Fishing Outing will be held on Saturday May 11th. We will be meeting for lunch at the Petroleum Center picnic area in Oil Creek State Park at the first pavilion on the right. Usually someone has donuts and coffee there first thing in the morning, but no promises.
It is typically the " Mother's Day Hatch" and there should be some Caddis on the water.
I hope you can join us for a day of fishing with burgers and dogs for lunch. If you plan to attend or need more information please contact Jeff Kremis at [email protected] or 724-588-4378.
TU and the Veterans Need Some Help
Neshannock Chapter of Trout Unlimited is looking for some help. We as a chapter would like to start some sort of a veterans program. We have been in touch with Trout Unlimited on the National level and there are many ways to run a veterans program, but all of our board member's time is taken up with the month to month running of our chapter's current various activities and business needs. So we are looking to our membership body for anyone that may be interested in setting on a committee to help decide what type of program to have and to follow through to help organize and run the program.
We think this would be a great way to help and thank some veterans that deserve and need it.
Anyone that is interested can contact me, Reg McClelland at [email protected] Fred Pasini at [email protected] or Jeff Kremis at [email protected]
This may be a great way to spend some extra time on a stream and give back to some people that deserve it.

Cabin Fever 2019
The cabin fever meeting of 2019 was another great success. With over 60 people in attendance and three great speakers throw in some really good food, what's not to like.
President Jeff Kremis started off with a rundown of current chapter activities and current events. Man,we're busy and ... we could use some help.
We started off the speakers with Sara Mueller, a PHD Candidate at Penn State University doing her studies on Brook Trout Genetics. She has been studying the Brook Trout in it's native range through out the Appalachian Mountains. What Sara doesn't know on this and a few other aquatic subjects, isn't worth knowing. She left the crowd wanting more.
Next up was Nick Micsky talking about Brook trout in Mercer County. Where they are and where they are not and why. We all come to find out that there is probably more in Mercer County than you would think.
Finally there was Mario Chance who is a fishing guide in Ohio and Pennsylvania in the tribs of and on Lake Erie. But not for Steelhead. He is the Smallmouth Bass guy of the area. We learned a lot about when, where and how to go after these fish with a flyrod. It turns out that are many opportunities to catch these fish close to home, and in shallow water.
Then, are own Carol Jockman had put together a wonderful, delicious lunch with more food than we could eat, and this is after the coffee and donuts that is always there to start off the day.
This event has been growing year after year and we would like to keep it going. But it is always a challenge to find new and interesting speakers, so if anyone out there has any ideas for speakers please let us know and we'll put something together for next year. I know I will be there.

2018 Fishing Derby at the Grove City Sportsman Club
First Day at the Kids area on Deer creek 2018
The new pavilion at the kid's area on Deer Creek got put to good use Saturday the first day of trout season. With perfect weather, the Deer Creek Group of Trout Unlimited hosted a great outing with lots of trout, food and fun. A great turn out with a few wet feet and maybe even some of fish caught, I'm not sure who was having more fun, the kids or the adults. The Deer Creek Group puts on this annual event on Deer Creek in Milledgeville, PA for the kids. The trout was supplied by PA fish & Boat and Neshannock Chapter of Trout Unlimited. The fun was shared by all. What a great outing and a great job by the Deer Creek Group !!
