33rd Annual Trout Rodeo

April 20th & 21st, 2024

          2024 Trout Rodeo

Annually for the last 32 years we have held a "KID"S FISH FOR FREE" Trout Rodeo. We usually have between 150 and 175 kid's each year come to our rodeo and fish for free. We do this as a community service to promote the sport of fishing in our area. This is not a fundraiser for the club, and all proceeds go directly to the rodeo. The rodeo is open to the public, and all kid's under the age of 16 are welcome. We always have some type of give away item for the kid's, a free hotdog, and a door prize drawing on Sunday with fishing related item's for all kid's present. We also offer a free replica mount for the kid who catches the largest trout.  We try to always
have enough prizes so everyone leaves with something.

Youth Challenger Event
We are holding our 2nd Annual YOUTH CHALLENGER EVENT on Friday April 19th, 2024 This event will open for any youth under the age of 16 who is facing a special life challenge. We are planning on giving these kids early access to the pond, providing them with any fishing gear that they may need, door prizes for all, and have
volunteers available to help these challenged fishermen.
​Pre-registration will be required.
Check back for more details and pre-registration procedures.


          This project is a big undertaking for our small club. It is not a fundraiser for the club, we do this to introduce & promote  the sport of fishing to young people through Berks County. It is very expensive to put on. We spend $3500.00 on trout alone, and we are always looking for corporate & individual sponsors. If you know of a business or an individual who would like to help, please download a sponsor request form and past it along to them. We also help defer the costs by charging adults a fee to fish after the kids are done on Saturday & all day Sunday.

            We would like to thank The Lazy K Campground for graciously allowing us to use their pond, and we are especially happy to have a local Wounded Warrior Group join us again this year to supply food and drink for the event. They always do an excellent job and all proceeds go to the Berks County Chapter of Wounded Warriors.
​ We are looking forward to having them back again with high expectations of this union growing in success
​for years  to come!
