Springside Sportsmen Club

Springside Sportsmen Club is a public-supported non-profit organization and cooperative nursery partner with the Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission since 1955, located in Slatington, Pennsylvania.

Springside Sportsmen Club is primarily focused on fish hatchery operations and aquatic education rather than traditional shooting sports. The organization operates two hatchery locations where volunteers raise and maintain trout species for stocking into Trout Creek and local waterways.

The club maintains: - South Hatchery: 1117 Main Street, Slatington, PA 18080 - North Hatchery: Undisclosed location for security purposes - Main Office: 566 W. Franklin Street, Slatington, PA 18080

Springside raises four primary trout species: - Tiger trout - Brook trout - Golden trout - Rainbow trout

Members and volunteers participate in regular stocking events at Trout Creek, seasonal fish handling operations, and annual creek cleanup initiatives. The organization emphasizes youth engagement through educational programs and hands-on experience with fish husbandry.

The club welcomes members of all ages with tiered membership options for children, youth, and adults. Members gain access to exclusive Facebook groups, stocking event notifications, and opportunities to participate in club activities and committees. The organization relies entirely on community donations and member support to maintain quality fish populations and fund operations.

Volunteers are the heart of Springside Sportsmen Club, contributing countless hours to ensure the tradition of fishing remains vibrant in the Northern Lehigh community.
