 REMINDERS:

Membership Cards and Drivers Licenses must be in your possession and will be spot-checked while fishing or using the club grounds.

Please obey all signs and rules while fishing or your membership will be in Jeopardy.

No fishing anytime in the marked off area around the lights or at the poles where the catfish nesting boxes are.

Pets must be leashed at all times on the Club grounds.  Pets must be restrained for the protection of other individuals and wildlife.

Please note that any fish you are taking from the lake for consumption will need to have a permit showing that the fish was taken from the Greencastle Sportsmen Lake.  Permits will be available at boxes located at the large information sign at the bottom of the hill and at the Members Pavilion.  This is a regulation/requirement of the Pennsylvania Fish Commission, so keep in mind that this simple card can prevent a $fine$ if you would be stopped by a Waterways Conservation Officer once you leave the Club property.

·              ·             

Notice:  No live fish of any kind are to be used as bait in the Club Lake.  One member in our club has already lost their membership for not abiding to the rules and regulations, don't let it happen to you.

             The Lake committee is always looking for help and committee members.  If you are interested, please let the Committee members listed in "About the Club" know.
