Guenst: Trout Season Opens April 5

(Mar 27, 2025)

As a member of the PA House Game & Fisheries Committee and an avid angler herself, Pa. state Rep. Nancy Guenst knows how important trout fishing is across the commonwealth. Guenst joined Fish & Boat Commission conservation officers and volunteers to stock trout in the Pennypack Creek. Every year the PFBC raises 3.2 million trout in its statewide hatchery system. Trout season officially opens April 5, but kids can get an early start on Mentored Youth Trout Day, March 29. Funds from the purchase of fishing licenses pay for stocking and all trout stocking events are open to the public. There are hundreds of sporting goods and bait and tackle shops across Pa. where you can purchase a license or go to www.fishandboat.com to buy online and check out stocking schedules. Read more

(Dec 19, 2024)

Wreaths Across America’s mission is to remember our fallen heroes, honor those who served or are serving our country, and teach children the value of freedom. Each year, I am honored to be asked to the Wreaths Across America event at Indiantown Gap National Cemetery. This year’s theme was “Live With a Purpose” and was held this past Saturday in Jonestown, PA. As this year marks the 80th anniversary of D-Day and the Battle of the Bulge, Pennsylvania’s WWII veterans were the special guests. Being able to honor veterans in such a special way will always hold a big place in my heart. Read more
