Round valley trout association

Been talking to some of the guys from the club and Steve the president, apparently this year the club is not going to be stocking no where near the amount of trophy trout as they have in the past.... membership numbers are down and not many donations this year have been made. I know a bunch of ya guys fish there! Guys if your not a member yet please join and help these guys out the 25$ goes along way and any donations are appreciated. We are also collecting any unwanted fishing stuff that is sold at peaquest flea market and all money collected goes to stocking more trophy trout, if interested in donating or becoming a member or any info reach out to me. Where else are you guys gonna catch 7+ lb trout in jersey ???

Can’t believe how low the numbers are? It’s weird! There was a ton of people at the stocking I helped with last year. Tons of boats too! I giess half of the guys there weren’t members.....??? Hope they work it out somehow!

Its unfortunate but numbers are down in many clubs as well as license sales.
I am a member of a small local club in my town and we have 9 members left.
We have had sons of members join and leave after a couple of years.
The younger generation is too attached to their phones and depend on an
App to do everything for them.

Not good to hear. As a 501c-3 they can post on here at any time.

After reading this post I searched and found the RVTA website to become more familiar with what they do. The website has not been updated in a long time and is full of information for 2017 & 2018.

I clicked the Join the RVTA link on the membership tab and the first line reads
"Renewing your membership early gives RVTA a jump-start in planning it’s 2018 stocking and other programs"

The fishing regulations section list the 2017 regs.

The Annual Welgoss Memorial Tournament results are from 2016.

As someone that is not that familiar with the association I really don't have any confidence or desire to join when the site is a year or more behind.

Great organization. Anyone who fishes there should join. They really do a lot for that place. The seminars they offer alone are worth way more than the $25 a year membership. Plus the thousands of dollars they spend on stocking trout and baitfish to make it a better fishery. You don’t need a boat either. There’s great fishing right from land all fall winter and spring.
