About the Penn Woods West Trout Unlimited Women and Diversity Initiative Schedule 2023:
We try to adhere to the dates below unless something unexpected occurs. However, locations may change depending on weather, trout stocking, and water levels. In general, we meet around 10AM and officially stop fishing around 2PM or 3PM. Events are free but registration is required.
Registration: Registration is via an Eventbrite link provided by email approximately 2 weeks prior to the date. The email contains details regarding the final location as well as any contingencies or back-up options. Registration is free but all attendees must register. We also generally schedule a pre-event virtual webinar to answer any final questions the Thursday prior to the event. Final confirmation of a location is then sent to all registered participants. This allows us to make any final adjustments due to weather or water conditions.
Difficulty Level: The difficulty levels listed below are based on the location and nature of the activity required including equipment needed, cold weather, wading difficulty, the need to walk into a stream and so forth.

Beginner: These events require no equipment and are designed to help people completely new to flyfishing learn the basics. You should expect to get wet during these events even though you do not need waders or boots.
Easy: These events are held in a location where wading is either minimal or easy. Waders and boots are needed for these events.
Moderate: These events require some equipment and wading or walking will be required. Some experience is helpful.
Difficult: These events are either very technical or require the willingness to hike or wade in difficult conditions. They will require appropriate gear and preparation. For example, the ability to wade into cold water during Steelheading season.

NOTE: A Fishing License is required for every event unless noted otherwise below. Trout Stamp is required for most. PA fishing licenses are issued on a calendar year basis so buy yours in January to get the most use out of it!

Little Pine Creek Outdoor Adventures May 18-22
2023-05-18 - 2023-05-22 | little Pine Creek State Park, Waterville, PA
The newly formed Outdoor Adventures committee is pleased to announce a trip to Little Pine Creek during the period May 18-22, 2023.
All are welcome to attend. The basic idea is DIY camping and fishing with group social activities in the evenings. It’s obviously high season for trout fishing on Pine Creek, so you should reserve a site at the campground as soon as possible. (1-888-727-2757). Andy has reserved campsite #34 on the main loop. There are some tenting sites nearby. The Little Pine Creek Campground is near Waterville in North Central, PA. It’s a 3.5 hour drive from Pittsburgh.
Camping there gives easy access to Little Pine Creek, (big) Pine Creek, Slate Run and Cedar Creek. Kettle creek is an hour’s drive west. DIY camping means you provide all necessary equipment and food for the adventure. Andy will cook BBQ for a “pitch-in banquet” on Saturday evening. Please bring an appetizer or side dish to complete the meal.
Contact Andy to let him know you are planning to join the fun or if you have questions. (email: campfire451@gmail.com; phone number: 971-409–6149)
If you like camping and fishing and wood smoke, join the fun. Details: CLICK HERE
